   Is there a way for links that I use in my custom menus to open in a separate browser window instead of making visitors leave my site to view the content?

   I know I can use link with the target=_blank selected, but I don't have control of the order of links like I do in custom menus.

   I have the suffusion theme, so could I possibly add something to the code to make this happen?

   Thanks!

   I found the answer to this and since I've seen a few people asking this, I figured I'd update my post.

   When you go to Appearance -> Menus and click on the "Screen Options" at the top right, you will see some options turn up. Select "Link Target" there and an option to define a link target will show up for each menu item.

   THANK YOU for this post! I was banging my head against my desk trying to conceive how I could possibly do this.

   You are quite welcome. I'm glad it helped someone. I searched and searched and even found a couple long threads in these forums that ended up with "tough luck" for the person asking.

   WordPress needs to make this option much more visible.

   I also wanted to say thanks. Like others I was well aware of 'How' _blank worked but like daledude my head was starting to hurt from hitting it on the desk in frustration. Ha.
