[Interest] QtWebKit and open URL in new tab window

Use target="_blank" because this is the only way defined in HTML for opening URL in new window each time:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/A#attr-target

Using target="_new" just means that you want the URL to be opened in the frame with name="_new", that's why it behaves
differently.
