from configure page
"EXTERNAL link URL Example: http://www.zcadditions.com (http://) strips INTERNAL link URL and auto opens in new tab/window."

You can't, it's entirely at the discretion of the browser (most only support tabs). Most user agents automatically open in new tab unless the user opts to open in new window via right click of a link.

You can specify http://www.YOURBLOG.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/ for an EXTERNAL link and it will open in a new tab

You could use jquery to force opening a new window
