rcScoutTargetFix.js

// Wrap this in a <script></script> tag
// and paste it directly below your RC scout script tag.
;(function() {
  'use strict';
  // Don't do anything if rcs isn't loaded.
  if (!window._rcs) { return }
  // Get the a tag class name.
  var className = window._rcs.inst.prefix + "__link";
  // Get all the a tag links.
  var links = document.getElementsByClassName(className);
  // Add the target and rel attributes.
  for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    var link = links[i];
    link.setAttribute('target', '_blank');
    link.setAttribute('rel', 'noopener noreferrer');
  }
})();
