If I remember correctly that is a browser setting, whether it opens in a tab or a new window will depend on how the users have their browser configured

depends on what browser you're using, but it should be under options somewhere

As far as I know there is no way to do this using "target" property.

you may have to use following way

HTML

<script type="text/javascript">
	function pop_up(hlink, wname)
	{
		if (! window.focus)
			return true;
		var href;
		if (typeof(hlink) == 'string')
			href=hlink;
		else
			href=hlink.href;
		window.open(
			href,
			wname,
			'width=400,height=200,toolbar=no, scrollbars=yes'
		);
		return false;
	}
	</script>
	<a style="COLOR: #000080; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="/A/B/web/images/abc.pdf" onclick="return popup(this, 'color pop up')">ABC</a></script>

Solution 2

Use Javascript. window.open("url") will help to open new window. But sometimes browser will not allow to open pop up windows for stop advertisements via pop up windows,
