Summary
No way to force "_blank" links to open in new tab in stead of new window

Unlike Firefox and IE, there is no way to tell Safari/webkit to open links asking for a new window in a new tab in stead. This is a major inconvenience. Is there any reason why such a feature cannot be implemented?

Tabs are a feature of the browser application that makes use of WebKit, not of the WebKit engine itself. See <
http://webkit.org/blog/101/back-to-basics/
> for more information. Please use <
http://bugreport.apple.com/
> to request enhancements to the Safari application.
