Activities V2 API - In V2 is there a way to create links in activity notes that open in new tabs?

When creating a new activity with the v2 API (POST /api/v2/activities), the target="_blank" attribute in <a> tags is removed from the activity note content.
In v1, target="_blank" was preserved.
Using js sdk “pipedrive”: “28.0.2”.

Is there a way in the v2 API to create links in activity notes that open in new tabs?
Is this new behavior intended?

I’m running into the same issue.

In V1 this worked perfectly in the past, but after migrating to V2 my links no longer open in a new tab.
