Hi Guillaume,
We've had this discussion in the past already and Sergiu and others
made a strong argument against doing this. Their point is that it's
the user who should decide and all browsers have features to decide
whether to open a link in the same page or in another page and it
shouldn't be dictated to the user.
I think one solution would be to make this configurable. Then we need
to decide what would be the default (off probably).
Thanks

Hi,
I'd like to propose that the default target option for link
insertion in the
new WYSIWYG editor be as follows:
- Internal link: use the default target (not specified)
- External Links: use target_blank to force opening the page in a
new tab
/ window (at a later stage we could do the same thing that otehr
wikis such
as Confluence or MediaWiki and add a small icon showing that the
links
points to outside of the wiki)
So that the user does not lose contact with the wiki.
WDYT?
Guillaume
