No there isn't. There's an attribute of the <a> tag that will allow
this but an attribute isn't a tag. Furthermore it's a bad practice and
it has been depreciated in the latest versions of html and xhtml. You
can however still do it with javascript. But you shouldn't.

This is under the control of the user, who can set his browser to do
that. It isn't under the web page's control.
