Update of social media hyperlinks in the footer required

[tmsagarofficial]

I would like to point out that all the social media links such as Instagram. facebook etc.

when clicked upon them these links open in the same tab as the current tab. I really feel that making sure that these links open in a separate or new tab would contribute towards user experience and also maintain a good flow for the user.

Pls assign this issue to me so that I can work on the same under hacktoberfest

you can go ahead if you think inserting target="_blank" is really a valuable contribution. we will accept it.
along with this, it'd be nice if you can find out and replace the usage of next/link on non-external links in this project like these social links. keep it only for the internal routes.

I didn't get this part of next/link ... can u please eloborate....

there is usage of tag for all of the links here. you need to replace them with traditional anchor tag <a> if their href points to external sites (like instagram, facebook etc.). if it's internal routing (like Home, Team, Events etc.), just keep them as it is with the <Link> tag.
