> Strictly WCAG, you need to provide an indication of this unexpected

behavior as it creates a change of context for the user.

That's a matter of interpretation. If you're alluding to WCAG 3.2.2 On
Input, clicking a link and going to a new page (whether in the existing tab
or a new tab/window) is *expected* behavior because that's what a link
does. You don't have to tell the user you're going to do that.

We had a discussion about this recently on the WebAIM forum -
