Can you code a link inside of a .SVG file to open in a new tab?

Hey all, 

I have a .svg graphic in the footer of my site. It was a STRUGGLE to get it to look the way the designer wanted as individual elements which would have made the links much easier. So instead of multiple overlapping elements, I made it as a .svg  file in Adobe Illustrator to avoid all the elements from shifting and not sitting correctly. 

Now my problem is that I want the streaming service links to open new tabs instead of taking users off of the site. Is there a way to do this? I've been trying to figure it out but I'm stuck!

An image of the footer is attached for reference.

Any help or insight is appreciated!

Found a solution for this. To make the link open in a new window target="_blank" needs to be added into the .svg code next to the link inside the <a> and </a> code sections.

Example:

 <a href="https://spotify.com" target="_blank">  </a>
