Ed,I had this same issue and here's how I managed to get the links to open in a new window.
(Kurt may want to cover his eyes for this one, because I used CaRP to display the feeds. Don't know if BlogBomb can do it as well, since I don't own that tuel.)
This piece of formatting in CaRP allows the link to open in a new window.
CarpConf('linktarget',1)
This page. . .

. . . goes into more detail on how to do it and alter the new windows size.
Hope this helps.
