No.

Firstly "target" is an HTML *attribute* not a CSS style *property* and
cannot set or create the attribute. Now you can style all A elements
that have target attributes with the selector:

A[target] { ... }

or only A elements that target a specific frame:

A[target="left_pane"] { ... }

Secondly, the "target" attribute is supposed to be reserved for frame
applications and not to create new browser windows <duck and cover>...

Maybe a little elaboration on what you are trying to accomplish here we
can better advise...
