Thanks Muhammad,

What would be the code to add this logic in the Announcement Banner for all URL's in fields.

There is no logic required, Just add basic html tags for your requirements how you want to show the banner.

for example your banners is like this

Text line 1
<br>
Text line 2
<br>

Link1:  <a href="https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Open link in new tab</a>
<br>
Link2: <a href="https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Open link in new tab</a>

<br>

Text line4

The following did the job:

writer.write('''
<script>
window.setTimeout(function(){
AJS.$('a:not([target=_blank])[href^=http].attr('target', '_blank');
}, 500);
</script>
''')
