This interface has no methods but inherits methods from its parent, SVGGraphicsElement.

In the example below, the target attribute of the <a> element is set to _blank and when the link is clicked, it logs to notify whether the condition is met or not.

const linkRef = document.querySelector("a");
linkRef.target = "_self";

linkRef.onclick = () => {
  if (linkRef.target === "_blank") {
    console.log("BLANK!");
    linkRef.target = "_self";
  } else {
    console.log("SORRY! not _blank");
  }
};
