Hello Gdub,
yes, you can add title attribute to it.
do like below example to put title attribute and to open link in new tab
<?php esc_attr_e('Maintained/ provided by', 'puresimple'); echo " "; printf(__('<a href="/'.esc_url('%s').'" /> your data to displayed ', 'puresimple'), 'Your hyper link'); ?>
Note: target=”blank” opens link to new tab
Thanks
