as a solution for you, you can modifiy the field to behave as select field which improves the usability a lot

In version 8 the link target is still in "Behavior" field, but the dropdown with "new window" (i.e. "_blank") is actually already present.

Update for this issue; this is the current situation (TYPO3 8.7.8)
- config.extTarget works now see https://forge.typo3.org/issues/78151 so it should be solved in the next release
- dropdown with "new window" (i.e. "_blank") is actually already present (TYPO3 v. 8.7: so no need for a checkbox IMO.
- the URL field is still in "General" tab (pagetype "External URL")

I wrongly wrote:
- the URL field is still in "General" tab (pagetype "External URL")
But in fact it is
- the URL field is still in "Behavior" tab (pagetype "External URL",as well as the others)
