It's possible to open links into new tabs or new windows, but it isn't possible to open links that should open in a new window in the same window.
I thought it would be a nice enhancement. :)

this is one of the most frequently requested features on the safari forums: single window mode, with the option to allow resized popups.
i tried patching this myself using:
WindowProtoFuncOpen: in webcore/bindings/js/kjs_window.cpp
FrameTree::find in webcore/page/FrameTree.cpp
but couldn't get it quite right.

Could you provide a few links to said requests (or a search URL)? Thanks!

Can you please send me the code as to how to open the links in new window as window.open doesn't work in google chrome, IE , adobe air.. works only in firefox.. Actually it will be more helpful if I can open the links in the user default browser.

Sorry, I don't know how to do it. Dude, this report is two years old; things have changed.
window.open has been used and abused to the point that it's now almost impossible to open a new browser window.

As I just told you, I don't know.

Is it Safari level or is it required now?
I think we already have options to do / achieve this.
