Target "_blank" is a reserved value which prompts the browser to create a new tab (or new window), and load the link question there. Any other target value, including "_new", instructs the browser to seek a window with that internal ID assigned to it (or create it if one doesn't exist yet), make it navigate to this link. This means that when you've click a link, kept the tab open for further analsys and then go back to the stream and click another, surprise surprise, it overwrites the tab you kept with this new link.
