It's not forcing, but just help *those who want* to be able to do
automaticly something they can do with a key combinaison.
Naturally this feature will be OFF by default.
We can add 2 options :
- Open internal link in a new windows []
- Open external link in a new windows []

The only good reason I see to don't add this feature is :
- I don't want any new feature !
- I don't want to program it !
- The preference page is already too encumbered (we can create an [advanced
option] page).

What about "wikilist" ?
I confirm it may be a very useful.
