Here was the solution to my own question to help others:
I know this isn't ideal, but in order to make external links open in a
new window
go to Skin.php and make changes to <a> tag adding target="_new" in the
makeExternalLink function.

Any suggestions?
As I understand popular opinion on the list, you will need to hack it
into parser.php yourself. :) Overwhelming majority say this is a Bad
Thing. (It comes down to user control and respect--a user may force a
link to open in a new window/tab, but can not force a new window link
to open in the same window.)
