The target attribute is not used in the <link> tag. In HTML, the <link> tag is primarily used to link external resources to an HTML document, such as stylesheets, icons, or other web pages. It doesn't support the target attribute.
However, the target attribute is commonly used with anchor tags <a> to specify where to open the linked document or resource. When used within an anchor tag, the target attribute defines the browsing context for the linked content. For instance.
<a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Link to Example</a>
Here, target="_blank" will open the linked content in a new browser window or tab.
But in the context of the <link> tag, the rel attribute is typically used to define the relationship between the current document and the linked resource, and the href attribute points to the location of that resource. For example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
If you have a specific use case in mind or if there's a particular context you are referring to, please provide more details so that I can offer more precise information.
