Details

Calling GetURL with a target name of _blank or _new and a http URL will not open 
a new browser window. This is different from the Netscape4 API. A new browser 
window is only opened for a mailto: URL (regardless of the target name).

See bug# 66316 for a test case using a PDF file.  the target="_blank" does not 
work for links to PDF file using the Acrobat 4.05 plugin, but it does work for 
a link to a standard HTML file.
