Here’s the PHP code you can simply copy from the view raw link and paste at the end of your child themes functions.php file to open comment author links in a new window.
Clearly, if you’ve removed the comment authors website URL field this code will not work.
The get_comment_author_link filter is located in the WordPress core wp-includes/comment-template.php file:
function get_comment_author_link( $comment_ID = 0 ) {
$url = get_comment_author_url( $comment_ID );
$author = get_comment_author( $comment_ID );
if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
$return = $author;
else
$return = "<a href='$url' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>$author</a>";
return apply_filters( 'get_comment_author_link', $return );
}
