The reason I used targets was because *I* find it 'annoying as hell' to have to a) right click then select 'open new window'...Middle click (or chorded left & right buttons on my laptop). Opens new tab/window in Galeon, with appropriate preferences setting.
OTOH, I just ran across [link|http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html|this preferences setting option]:
// Override popping up new windows on target=anything.
// This is now accessible in the prefs dialog, under Advanced|Scripts&Windows.
user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true);
I'll give that a shot and see how it works.
(One browser restart later) OK, that works, confirmed it with your links, imric.
So here's the deal: the browser determines behavior. The user can override presentation. And with this setting, no more new windows from target tags.
...and sorry for rubbing you wrong, but now you don't matter ;-)
Oh, and nice links, BTW.
