No, it's HTML. It's really a hangover from frames, where you could name
frames in your frameset, and then open documents within certain frames with
<a href="foo.html" target="frame_name">. But it works for (non-frames)
windows too. You can give the target window any name you want to open a new
window with that name; you can then reuse the name later, if you like, to
open a different document in that same, already-open window. Or you can use
the reserved window name "_blank" to force a new window every time.

That I could not tell you. I guess you'll have to try it and see.
