I've seen this on many blogs. Don't know if it'll work for what you
want or not...

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
// thanks to randomwalks.com for this code
function targetLinks(boNew)
{
    if (boNew) where = "_blank";
    else where = "_self";
    for (var i=0; i<=(document.links.length-1); i++)
    {
    document.links[i].target = where;
    }
}
//--></script>

<form><input type="checkbox" name="targetnew"
onclick="targetLinks(this.checked)">new windows?</form>
