Add an "Open in new tab" option to the navigation block's sidebar settings.

[pitamdey]

Fixes: #67246

What?

Adds the "Open in new tab" Option to the Navigation Link block's settings just like we do using Toolbar

Why?

The "Open in new tab" setting is currently limited to the link modal in the Toolbar, while other link options are located in the block settings sidebar. This inconsistency has led to confusion for editors trying to find this commonly used feature.

How?

I have added the same option in the sidebar like we have in the Toolbar

Yes, @Mamaduka, you are right. I can see that, but I have used a checkbox here and added the option similar to the toolbar.

I can see that, but I have used a checkbox here and added the option similar to the toolbar.

That's more of a design preference. I'm sure @Infinite-Null can also change the component to a checkbox if requested.

I don't have a personal preference here, but similar/duplicate PRs are usually closed in favor of the oldest active PR.
