Is there any possibility to open links that do not point to my own website in a new window? So the script should add target="_blank" to any external link it finds.
Is there a solution, yet? I am too lazy to add this by hand to any external link .

This might be a solution for you:

Mh, but this requires adding rel="external" by hand to each external link... My dream of a solution would be a javascript/plugin that crawls the content for external links, adding target="blank" to each one that doesn't have it already.
Sounds like a nice idea for a plugin...

Didn't we once do something like this to add little icons on the ends of links? I seem to recall making the oddest regexps to support it. Don, was that you I was working with?

I still can't fathom why people would want to do that. Especially given that fact that you can always override these, at least with a good browser. I can understand why people would want to mark external links, but why ... seriously, I have no idea. Oh, never mind.

"THIS IS MY TAB, DON'T USE THE DAMN TAB FOR ANOTHER WEBSITE .. LEAVE THE FU*KING TAB OPENED!!!!!!! " Sorry about that , but that is the only logic reason for opening links in new tab.
