For instance, in Firefox I can middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab, regardless of where it would normally go, but if I want to stay in the same window when clicking a target="_blank" I have to 1) realize that it will open a new window beforehand and 2) select "Open in this tab" from the context menu, which is only even possible due to an extension. It's annoying. The Web would be a better place if there were no default-target specifications: I know what I want to open in a new window, you don't.
That annoyance rings a bell, but I don't seem to have it - just using 1.0.7 here, and ctrl+click on "break out" links works fine (like in gmail for instance). I've got a couple of extensions, but afaik, that's just the normal behaviour.
I'm starting to think that "break out" for *all* external links would be a good default for all my browsing, and a modifier to reuse the same window would be handy on those rare instances. *shrug*
