Updated: Still relevant in 2023! Do you need a link in one of your #WordPress menus to open in a separate tab or window?  Normally you accomplish this with the target="_blank" option in HTML.  In this video Kori Ashton will show you how to add this to a main menu link.  Check out http://askkori.com for more WordPress Website Tips.

You can add the Link Target function to your WordPress menu by opening the "Screen Options" dropdown and selecting Link Target.  This will give each menu item the option to open in a new window.
