   I'm new to wordpress and apparently I've made a procedural mistake...

   I've been adding photos to my blog via the WP gallery. I actually quite like it, concise and easy to use.

   However there aren't many options to it, and I just want to make one SIMPLE change. Or it should be simple. Getting the thumbnail images to open to target="_blank" instead of the same window.

   Now I could go and re-do all of my images, or I could just quickly change the code controlling the gallery shortcode so that they all open to a new window.

   Any insight on how to go about doing this?

   got it.

   U have to add target='_blank' to the href in post-template.php on line 945

   return apply_filters( 'wp_get_attachment_link', "<a href='$url' target='_blank' title='$post_title'>$link_text</a>", $id, $size, $permalink, $icon, $text );

   scoobasteve have you found any other issues this might create? It seems to be working well, I just think maybe someone should put this in as a solution to this issue.
