Instruct code to open in a new tab

Site URL: https://www.cillianosiochain.com

Hello, I have added the following code to my site successfully, which creates a badge on my site which in turn is a link to an external webpage. Currently, the webpage opens in the same tab however I would like it to open in a new tab and there is no toggle button to do this in the 'code' widget. Can anyone help?

Hi rwp, thank you for your reply. Could you specify what I should put between the quotation marks in your answer? I tried the following, but the link still opened in the same tab.
