Details

I've developed a news sidebar, and many users are asking if it is possible to open links from that sidebar in new tabs. I tell then to use ctrl-click, and this works for most users. But it would be really nice if this would be possible using target="_tab" or maybe some javascript function.
not gonna do this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105409 ***

Ok, the other bug got closed because of standards violation. Adding a javascript function would not. OpenTab can still be subject to don't allow open during load, so there's no spam involved either. Can I reopen the bug specifically for the javascript part?
Summary: RFE: make a target called "_tab" that will open the clicked link in a new tab → RFE: window.openTab() function or equivalent
If you are going to reopen anything, let it be 105409, even if only for the DOM part; that's where the prior discussion of this rfe is, and that's where all the interested people are cc'ed. Please don't reopen this bug.
