Hi Ilya,


here is a solution in JavaScript.

Adjust the line

   #+STYLE:   var targetFrame = "otherFrame";

You could even receive the targetFrame as URL-Parameter.


#+STYLE: <script type="text/javascript">
#+STYLE: <!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/
#+STYLE: function modifyExternalLinks()
#+STYLE: {
#+STYLE:   if(null == document['body']) {
#+STYLE:     window.setTimeout("modifyExternalLinks()", 250);
#+STYLE:     return;
#+STYLE:   }
#+STYLE:   var targetFrame = "otherFrame";
#+STYLE:   var baseURL = document.URL;
#+STYLE:   if("" != location.hash)
#+STYLE:     baseURL = baseURL.substring(0, baseURL.indexOf('#'));
#+STYLE:   if("" != location.search)
#+STYLE:     baseURL = baseURL.substring(0, baseURL.indexOf('?'));
#+STYLE:   var regx = new RegExp("^baseURL", "gi");
#+STYLE:   var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
#+STYLE:   for(j=0; j<links.length; ++j)
#+STYLE:   {
#+STYLE:     if(! links[j].href.match(regx))
#+STYLE:     links[j].target = targetFrame;
#+STYLE:   }
#+STYLE: }
#+STYLE: window.setTimeout("modifyExternalLinks()", 250);
#+STYLE: *]]>*///-->
#+STYLE: </script>



HTH
