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.

I would like the ability to have all external pages by default open up into their own window. 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.)
