I agree that it would be good for Google to handle this the same way a
copy does. Previewing/testing the link from GMail draft always opens
another tab/window - at least in my experience - never a popup.
This was just a curiosity due to the inconvenience of NOT relying on the
draft Preview/Test,
Ah, I see it now...it's because GMail doesn't use an tag...it fakes it
and adds a click handler. Unfortunately there's not much you can do as a
user in this case (aside from copy/pasting the URL manually) - ideally
Gmail would fix their window.open to include noopener.

If that's the case, your link should work if you ctrl/cmd-click the link or
Looks like the issue is that opening a URL with a scroll-to-fragment via

click on both of the links) -
