 * Is this possible?
 * I guess the menus are dynamically generated.
 * Thanks for any hints.

 * This is actually built into WordPress. Go to dashboard -> Appearance -> Menus
   and then click the “Screen Options” tab hanging from the top right corner of 
   the screen.
 * There, make sure the “Link Target” box is checked. With that done, each draggable
   menu item gets a new checkbox option that allows you to set it to open in a new
   window.
