How to open a file gallery in a new browser window

I am using a structure for navigation. At some point in the navigation structure, I am opening a file gallery from a wiki page. Currently, the file gallery is opened in the same browser window, despite I have turned on the option "open links in a new window" in the admin - wiki panel (only works for links outside the tikiwiki site). It would however be much nicer if the file gallery opens in a new window - as this preserves the location of the navigation in the original window. This would facilitate the copying of link e.g. locations of files to embed in the original page (eg links to pdf's in a list of publications). Of course the browser 'back' window could be used - but that is less nice /clear.
I managed to solve this by using the wysiwyg editor, with which the target frame of a link can be set. Note however that the additional tag "target=..." is removed by tikiwiki when the page is subsequently edited with the regular build-in editor


Thanks Gary - This works and is indeed a better solution.
