target="_blank" doesn't trigger if <router-link> contains child elements (e.g. <span>)

I've confirmed that this happens in the most recent version of vue and vue-router.

const target = e.currentTarget.getAttribute('target')
if (/\b_blank\b/i.test(target)) return

The problem is that this block of code isn't necessarily testing the generated tag due to the use of "currentTarget".

Hey,the most recent version of vue-router doesn't include that fix yet but it was fixed in #1290
