[wp-hackers] RFE: "more" to open in new window

[Bernard D. Tremblay (ben)]

*Apologies if this has been covered; I haven't been able to spend time 
on this list*

Background: I just tranfered a ton of posts from LiveJournal 
http://gnodal.livejournal.com to a new 
http://gnodal.protension.com/journal and couldn't be happier with the 
results ... didn't make use of LJArchive XML or alternative PHP, nuthin' 
... straight outta the box ... formatting: wonderful, comments: 
basically correct ... happy as a pig in you.know.what.

In tweaking I noticed one thing, and this has been the default behaviour 
forever (so far as I know) but it caught my eye just now.

Clicking on post title or -More- on blog front page opens the post in 
that tab ... in effect blowing the frontpage away.

Is this optional?
What controls this behaviour?
I'm guessing it's core ... can it be adjusted using a plug-in?
(I'm sure most of you know that google search preferences include "open 
in new window".)

sorry for being so out of sync
