Will This Link Open a New Tab/Window?
"Ever clicked on a link and had a new window (or tab) unexpectedly open? Me too. It’s a minor frustration that I think adds up over time.

But the out-of-the box experience seems to be missing something to indicate whether a link will open a new window/tab, rather than simply take you to a new page. A simple solution might be a custom mouseOver cursor indicating links that will result in new tabs/windows."
