Comment(by filosofo):

 scribu's right: there's no reason to make a general penalty for users so
 long as you have the scroll click available.

 {{{
         if ( undefined == url )
                 return;
 }}}

 What does that get you that `if ( ! url )` doesn't?

 {{{
     if ( 0 != url.indexOf(location.protocol + '//' + location.host) ) {
                 window.open(url);
                 return false;
         }
 }}}

 The problem is that in the WP admin, the internal links are not absolute,
 so you'll be opening them in new windows too.
