if you need a link to be opened in new window try this:
<a href="link.html" target="_blank">link</a>
and if you insist on something search engine parseable, try this comgbination:
<a href="links.html" onClick="window.open('links.html', 'windowname'); return false">link</a>
the "return false;" should terminate the standard href action, but its still parseable for search engine
