Is there a way to open all < a href> links on a page in new windows?

I have a bunch of <a href=.html> links and want to make them all open in new windows.

I know I can do a search and replace all to add target=_blank to all my <a href=...> links.

However, is there a quick way, such as setting a CSS style, or adding some JavaScript code, to accomplish the same thing?

If you have a page consisting of only links, consider <base target=_blank>. This opens every link in a new window (but also includes the targets of forms, unless overridden with <form target=_self>.

As others have shown, without modifying the HTML source, you can use Javascript to iterate through all <a> tags and add the target attribute or add an event listener that sets the target attribute dynamically.
