Good idea. On my MediaWiki:ExternalLinksSidebar page, common.js scripts weren't present.

I've tried using several Common.js solutions for having specific external links and sidebar external links open in a new
tab, including these:

However, none of the solutions above work on my sidebar. I'm using CustomNavBlocks, so my sidebar consists of Mediawiki
namespace pages.
Perhaps my problem is that Common.js contents don't apply to the Mediawiki namespace.
The above mentioned jQuery code finds the links in the sidebar by looking for the ids "mw-panel" or "panel". You should use Firebug to check whether these ids are also valid when using CustomNavBlocks.
