J W, here are some ideas that I have cobbled together from some of my templates. You may have to tweak them a bit to get it to work.

1. Add a checkbox to your class - For this example I am going to call it 'New Window?' and assign it the identifier 'newwindow'.

2. Add a section block that checks the checkbox to your code:
{section show=eq($content_version.data_map.newwindow.content,'')}
{* Displayed if the "New Window" box is not checked *}
{section-else}
{* Displayed if the "New Window" box is checked *}
{/section}

3. Within the second section in the above code insert your code to display a link that opens in a new window. Set the first section to display it normally.

4. Here is part of the code I use in an image override templateto open an image in a JavaScript window (the actual JavaScript is included in a different part of the window):
<a href={$image_content[original].full_path|ezroot} target="_soopaPop:width={$image_content[original].width},height={$image_content[original].height},screenX=50,screenY=50,resizable"><img src={$image.full_path|ezroot} width="{$image.width}" height="{$image.height}" {section show=$hspace}hspace="{$hspace}"{/section} {section show=$alignment}align="{$alignment}"{/section} border="{$border_size}" alt="{$image_content.alternative_text|wash(xhtml)}" /></a>
{/let}

Hope this helps. Let me know if something doesn't make sense.

Ahhh, I think I see what you would like. Perhaps for now you could add an extra text line to your link/URL class where you can fill in the target. Then edit the code in an override template for ezurl.tpl to include
target="{path.to.your.textline}"

Would this do what you want?

Do you mean you do not know how to edit the class or how to modify the code that the code outputs?

To edit the class go to your admin area and click on the 'Set up' tab and view the Classes. Click on the Edit link next to the Link datatype (mine is set up as number 11). Scroll down to the bottom of the box where it says Datatype and choose the 'Text line' from the drop down box and click on 'New'. The page will reload and provide you with some fields to fill out. For this example put 'Target' in the Name field and 'target' in the Identifier field. You could also do this with the Enum operator if you want to force the editor to select from a list.

Now when you add a link to eZ publish you will see the Target field, which you can fill in with the value you want for the target (_blank for example).

To output your code you will want to create an override for the ezurl.tpl file. Copy the file ezurl.tpl from design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/

Place it in your override design directory and modify the code so it provide the target. An example might be:
{default node_name=$node.name}
<a href={concat('/',$node.url_alias)|ezroot} target="$node.data_map.target.content">{$node_name|wash}</a>
{/default}

Use something along these lines in your override.ini.append:

[url_with_target]
Source=node/view/line.tpl
MatchFile=url_with_target.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=25

Note: The above code may require some changes to work with your set up. I wrote this off the top of my head - I haven't tested it. It may have mistakes in it.

Does this help?
