Describe the bug
YouTube links from sidebar docs, e.g. for "show LEDs" open in a tab that fails to load YouTube.

Based on the message from Safari and the note in the Chrome network tab, this seems to be due to the cross-origin opener policy.

The links work if copy pasted into a new tab.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the editor
  2. Add a "show leds" block to the workspace
  3. Right click on the block, Help
  4. Scroll in sidebar docs to the callout where the "LEDs" text is a link to YouTube
  5. Click and note you get an error

Expected behavior
YouTube works.
