[Web4lib] target link attribute

I have links to item records in our OPAC in various book lists on our new
website.  I have the links set to open in a blank page, but I would prefer
that each link doesn't open a whole new blank page--I want to avoid a user
having window upon window (or tab after tab) open if they are clicking on
mutiple links.  I've been to sites where a link opens in a new window, but
each subsequent link clicked on in the parent page opens in that new
window, so basically your parent page remains open, but there is one
window on top (or tab beside it) that reloads with each link clicked on in
the parent page.  Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?  


Thanks!
