In some cases, you can tell all links in your javascript that have target="_blank", and pass them to window.open with the '_system' param. This will work on both iOS and Android.

$(document).on('click', 'a[target="_blank"]', function(ev) {
  var url;

  ev.preventDefault();
  url = $(this).attr('href');
  window.open(url, '_system');
});

Or in your case, simply replace a.setAttribute("target", "_blank"); with a.setAttribute("target", "_system");

This worked for me in an ancient projekt, but im unsure if it still works (on iOS and Android)
