If you don't want to use JQuery, insert this into your popup.js and it will make all your links open in a new tab when clicked

Remember to declarer the "tabs" permission in the manifest.json

window.addEventListener('click',function(e){
  if(e.target.href!==undefined){
    chrome.tabs.create({url:e.target.href})
  }
})
