That’s not markdown. It doesn’t work here on GH. It doesn‘t work in CommonMark. See “What is MDX?”.

Also:

You probably shouldn’t use target=_blank, you are breaking user expectation, about what clicking a link does.
Don’t set only target blank: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-target. That’s a security vulnerability
Use JSX if you want to add attributes: <a href="whatever" target="_blank" rel="noopener">...</a>
Or use a plugin: https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype-external-links.

is there any way which can open link in a new tab

Yes, by reading the response you commented on.
Particularly the last two bullet points, and trying the solutions.
