All the <a> tags with an href attribute AND a not empty target attribute with a content different from _self, _top and _parent.
a[href][target]:not([target=_self]):not([target=_top]):not([target=_parent]):not([target~=^\s*$])
Process

- present in source : no
Analysis
Pre-Qualified
In all cases
Notes
We assume here that a not empty value different from "_self" for the "target" attribute lead to the opening of the page in a new window. The detection is not only done with the "_target" value.
On latest webdev data set (2013-10-30, 78,000 pages), the selection has been found on 62039 pages, i.e on 79% of the pages
