//add aria label to link that opens in new tab
function aria_formatter($content) {
$replace = array('target="_blank"' => 'target="_blank" aria-label="Opens in a new tab."');
$new_content = strtr($content, $replace);
return $new_content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'aria_formatter', 999);

Add this to functions.php to your theme and it will add the aria-label to a link that opens in new tabs.
