This is a good idea, but I don't think it will work. The way forms are processed involves special session-based security information to prevent hackers from submitting a hacked form. Once you submit the form (to get the preview screen) that session data is deleted and the original form will not be able to submit a second time. So while we could probably target the form action to a separate tab, the original form would no longer be able to submit valid form data.
I don't have a good solution for what you want to do, apart from some kind of advanced javascript. I plan to experiment with some new form recognition code, that might make that kind of javascript a bit more plausible...
