Force Safari to always open new links in a new tab

I found an older post here that addressed this issue, however, the solution provided does not work in the latest version of macOS (macOS Sonoma (2023)).

I would like EVERY link I click to always open in a new tab (or at least in a new window if it's coded to do that). Safari seems to open every link in the same window I'm already in. I have to page back to see all my search results and loose the current window. I know you can command click, but I don't always remember to, it is very frustrating. Why can't there be a simple Safari toggle setting that allows me to turn this feature on and off at will?
