Change "open in new tab" icon on media

Describe the problem

The current "open in new tab" (External.svg) icon on media files looks too much like a fullscreen icon and confused me a few times, as I was thinking it'd show the media file in the same tab (similar to #5 )

Describe the solution you'd like

Change the icon to be more of an arrow, rather than a square.

What we have as "Open in new tab" icon is more frequently used as such, see this ddg search for reference.

From what I can see on the search link, all images have the arrow way more pronounced, with the square just being a solid line. I think it's the dotted lines specifically making my brain having the connection to full screen:
