126914 - suggestion for HTML links opening new tab

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 105409

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

Description

[cooperg]

(This might be better suited to the Tabbed Browsing component..?)

I would like to suggest a TARGET="_TAB" attribute for HTML's "A" tag.
This would, obviously, open a link in a new window when clicked, rather
than a new window (using "_blank") or the same window (default).
 
For compatibility with other browsers or older Moz browsers 
a suggestion for usage might be to double up the "_tab" with,
for example, "_blank", like so:

[a href="whatever.html" target="_tab" target="_blank"]

(I used brackets rather than greater/lesser-thans in case this form allows HTML code)

Then give _tab precedence over _blank. If used without the
_blank, the target would be ignored.
