I agree as well but I'm also not a person that wants single window browsing which is what we're trying to accomplish here. Only forcing target blank into a new window would still produce window litter with pop-ups.

You can still just use the From third-party sites setting (I think third-party links are the most common culprit of getting the target blank treatment).
This will be a site preference.
Setting up your command-click behavior to pop windows as a new tab will still work as well.

At the moment this seems like the best solution to the problem of course if it doesn't work, it doesn't work and we'll reconsider. I'm just trying to get as close as possible to making everyone happy :)
