target="_blank" inside the anchor opens a new window.
But don't do it -- it breaks the visitor's back button and has
accessibility issues.
JavaScript can also open a new window. That is a bad idea, too.
Just use plain anchors and let the visitor set her own browser to do
whatever *she* wants. She'll thank you for not interfering.
