  I would like to edit comments so that links open in a new window. I tried doing something like: target=”_blank”, but it didn’t really work. I’m really bad with codes…
  On a related note, is there a way to make it so that links in people’s names in comments also open in a new window?

  Not currently on WordPress.com. In my experience, there’s something hard-coded in the themes that means links in comments open in that window, no matter what code you add. Perhaps someone else has been more successful at reformatting them?
