As it happens I offer an inexpensive script, divaPOP (both as a Dreamweaver Extension, and a Standalone script for everyone else) that does exactly that. It is an unobtrusive javascript that adds a pdf icon, right or left of the link, and opens the file in a popup window (which is my own preference since I personally lose websites all the time when I close a pdf file otherwise), all without having to add any hooks to the links at all.
Optionally it also adds an icon to external links signifying that they will open in a popup window as well.
It's available at http://www.divahtml.com/products/divaPOP/open_popup_windows.php
I am also about to release an update that will add an option to automatically add a rel="nofollow" attribute to the external links.
