I would like all links that are external to a site weather in stories or in the links section to open in a new window is there a global pref for this now.
Where would I change it ?

There is no global pref for this and there is no easy way to do this site wide.

For the links plugin I believe you can alter the linksdetail.thtml template file. You an add the target tag there.

As far as the rest is concerned it all depends, ie for stores you would have to go back and edit them manually since those are hard coded in the story itself.

In linkdetails.thtml

I tried changing

Text Formatted Code
<li>
  <strong><a href="{link_url}" title="{link_actual_url}">{link_name}</a></strong> ({link_hits}) {link_edit}<br />
  {link_description}
</li>


to

Text Formatted Code
<li>
  <strong><a href="{link_url}" target="_blank" title="{link_actual_url}">{link_name}</a></strong> ({link_hits}) {link_edit}<br />
  {link_description}
</li>


Didn't cause any problems but it is not opening links in a new page.

I would presume you need to find this line in COM_rdfImport() in lib-common.php and add target="_blank" to it.

Text Formatted Code
            $content = '<a href="' . $feed->articles[$i]['link'] . '">'
                     . $title . '</a>';

            $content = '<a href="' . $feed->articles[$i]['link'] . '" target="_blank">'
                     . $title . '</a>';
 

And then you have to maintain this hack with every GL update.
