Get an element by class and make it open in a new tab

I got some links in my HTML built by a WordPress shortcode. Unfortunately this shortcode do not include the target property and this way I cannot make the links open in a new tab.

I am not a programmer and I'm looking for a little JS to make some links under a specific class open in a new tab.

Something like:

if (a tag is under div.newTab class) onClick {window.open in a new tab}

Hope you guys understand it!

Thank you all.

window.onload = function(){

    var allLinks = document.querySelectorAll("div.newTab a");

    for(var i = 0; i < allLinks.length; i++){

        var currentLink = allLinks[i];

        currentLink.setAttribute("target", "_blank");

    }

}
