Re: linklist open in new window or tab

Use linklist as a container tag or call a form with the form attribute, in your form or contained content use lower level link tags to build the url that behaves the way you would like, such as:

<a href="<txp:link_url />" target="_blank"><txp:link_name /></a>

not tested.

Re: linklist open in new window or tab

You could also use JavaScript to make links to external sites open in a new window:

$('a').each(function() {
   var u= new RegExp('/' + window.location.host + '/');
   if(!u.test(this.href)) {
       $(this).click(function(event) {
           event.preventDefault();
           event.stopPropagation();
           window.open(this.href, '_blank');
       });
   }
});
