or maybe sign target="_blank"-links with an special icon (maybe on roll over) an add a point, "open in this tab" into to context menu

Not supporting target="_blank" would break all kinds of things. Indicating when a link has it, and allowing override through the context menu, sounds like a dup of bug 268984.

Agree. "_blank" is valid, and should stay that way.
