Comment (by smerriman):

 Also, I'm not actually sure why the issue of browsers blocking links from
 opening in a new window is an issue.

 If the browser allows it, everything works fine.
 If the browser disallows it, nothing happens.

 Nothing happening is better than something completely unexpected
 happening.
