Some links open in the "same window" whereas some in "new window". Opening in new window is annoying many times. My suggestion: When the mouse pointer moves over any links that "open in a new window" then follow any of these two ideas to tell user before he/she clicks it: 1. You can change the link highlight colour to something different 2. You can make a small "tool tip" to indicate that this link is new window opener If you did any clarification I am ready to help - or test builds. Reproducible: Always
