Note: I’ve been constructing links to open in new windows because that’s my preference. As I’ve learned more about web design, however, I’ve discovered that, from a usability perspective, enforcing opening links in new windows isn’t the best idea. From now on I’m going to let users determine whether or not to open links in new tabs or windows. Smashing Magazine’s Should Links Open In New Windows? discusses this issue and provides users with suggested ways to open links in new windows. FWIW, I use a combination of browser settings and the first method described: right-clicking on the link and selecting the “Open link in a new tab/window” option.
