Comment(by nacin):

 Are you referring to admin links, or links in the theme? Either can be
 achieved with JavaScript. Or even better, don't override browser defaults,
 and instead allow the user to open it in a new window only if they so
 desire.

 We don't deal with the theme, and in the case of the admin, we have no
 desire to add an option for this. We've also had numerous discussions in
 the past about where links should open, and the status quo is what we wish
 to maintain.
