    Can we get a checkbox option in autolinks that allows us to TARGET="_BLANK" (open in a new window) a particular link?

    oops, it was the reverse I was trying to say... (was a late night). So, a checkbox to NOT open in a new window. :)

    I understand that the ability to open autolinks in a new window (target="_blank") was removed in current versions of PostNuke, because opening links in new windows is not "in the spirit" of the way the web works.

    However, I believe it would be fair to keep "Open link in new window" as an option. It could be a global option applied to all Autolinks, or, even better, an option for each Autolink entry.

    I have some autolinks that refer back to a page on my site, and other autolinks that go to external URLs. It would be great if I had control over how those links open, e.g. internal links open in target=_self, and external links open in target=_blank.

    Could this option somehow work its way back into future releases?
