we usually open new windows only when the link is to another site, it is
usually part of the contract that the clients site sticks around when people
click a link to another site.

personally, i think it is better to give the user a choice, ie. separate
icons for new window/this window, but if new windows are what the client
wants, thats what the client gets.
