Ahh, I see the point.

If you want the target to be _blank for all the external links you 
could add the following method:

	VisitorRendererHtml>>acceptLinkExternal: aLink
		stream attributeAt: 'target' put: '_blank'.
		super acceptLinkExternal: aLink.

If you want this attribute to be set just for a few external links 
either use HTML in these cases or add a property to LinkExternal and 
update the classes WikiParser, WikiScanner, VisitorRendererWiki and 
VisitorRendererHtml accordingly.

Cheers,
Lukas
