Is there anything that I can suffix to a url so that it opens in new browser window instead of redirects?
I saw a few suggestions on the web, but nothing actually works.
for example: http://www.zzz.com\?tp=win95 target=_blank

You have to set target="_blank" attribute on your link
For example :
<a href="http://www.zzz.com\?tp=win95" target="_blank"/>

So you mean I cannot type a url into a browser address box and have it open into a new browser window? – bach dang Apr 17 '14 at 13:47

Use `CTRL+T` shortcut on your browser to open a new tab and then type your url ? – OlivierH Apr 17 '14 at 13:48

I was hoping for something simple because my link on my sharepoint 2010 list does not open into a new browser window and the suggestions for that were not working out for me. – bach dang Apr 17 '14 at 13:52

You can wheel-click a link, it will open the page in a new tab. – OlivierH May 15 '14 at 09:16

No, that has to be specified by the link itself:
<a href="http://www.zzz.com\?tp=win95" target="_blank"/>
or by JavaScript:
window.open(URL,name,specs,replace);
Here's a link to the JS method: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp

You leave the target as blank.

It's not a rule or anything, but many developers believe that they're not a very good resource, as explained in the link I posted above. – ChrisGPT was on strike Apr 17 '14 at 15:14

If you're looking for a better resource, the [Mozilla Developer Network (MDN)](https://developer.mozilla.org/) is very good. – ChrisGPT was on strike Apr 17 '14 at 15:42
