I believe it is actually labeled (in English, at least) as: "Editing and 
plugins"

tiki-admin.php?page=textarea

I agree that internal links are much more preferable. One possible 
workaround, could be to use a "regular" internal link + JQ. You could do 
something like, create your link in wiki syntax:

{DIV(class="myclass")}((Link to a page)){DIV}

And then use something like this in a JQ plugin:

{JQ()}
$('.myclass a').click( function() {
window.open( $(this).attr('href') );
return false;
});
{JQ}

(Note, this is just quasi-code -- YMMV)

You could even put the JQ within a module, then simply add the module to 
any page in which you want the links to open in a new window.
