Would it be possible to create a reserved target name (a la _blank, _self, etc.)
to open hyperlinks in a new Mozilla tab?

Something link <a href="url" target="_moztab">

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Not gonna happen.  I've seen this requested before.  Its asking for a
nonstandard target and not everyone uses Mozilla.
At least though, it would degrade simply to opening a new window in non-Moz
browsers.

Of course after searching for discussions before opening this bug, I find it's a
duplicate of 105409 after the fact....

It would create a new *named* window in non-moz browsers (assuming the browser
supported windows at all), unless the browser correctly implemented the html
specifcation.

http://www.w3c.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-frame-target

Target names must begin with an alphabetic character (a-zA-Z) with the exception
of _blank, _self, _parent amd _top. User agents should ignore all other target
names.
marking verified as a duplicate.

if you decide to reopen this bug, please clarify why.
