Hi jaklitsch maya,
You could use a java script
in the head put:
<script type="text/javascript" src="external.js">
in the body where you want the link to open in a new window
<a rel="external" href="http://www.xxx.com/";>xxx</a>
the javascript sits in the same map as the html
is called external.js and it reads:
function externalLinks() {
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName
("a");
for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++) {
var anchor = anchors[i];
if (anchor.getAttribute("href") &&
anchor.getAttribute("rel") == "external")
anchor.target = "_blank";
}
}
window.onload = externalLinks;
It validates and it works

Woe to it as to its fate;
It is old--this year it was born
