<tab><a href=ST107V1.html target='_blank'>MLV1F107</><tab>

If this is prototypical [they all have the XXX.html as the href, and
the target is always '_blank', then search for:

<a href=.{4,10}\.html target='_blank' (.{4,10})</>

and replace with:

\1

My assumptions are:
1.  The "ST107V1" bit is between 4 and 10 characters long, always.
2.  The "MLV1F107" bit is the same.
