I wrote a com.ecyrd.jspwiki.parser.LinkParser class that's been part of
the distribution since 2.5.10, so check the its javadocs for further
details. In short, you can add any of the attributes permitted in HTML
using the syntax:

    [Text | Link | attributes]

e.g.,

   [Acme | http://www.acme.com/ | id='foo' rel='Next']

creates:

   <a href="http://www.acme.com/" id="foo" rel="Next">Acme</a>

To open a link into a new window, HTML uses the 'target' attribute with
a value of "_blank":

   [Acme | http://www.acme.com/ | target='_blank']

This of course works for links to HTTP addresses, wiki page links,
interwiki links, etc.
