Hmmm...not sure if you can do it for things like image files, but what I guess you could do is make the link to a script like file_download.cfm?file=myfile.xyz open in a new window <a href="file_download.cfm?file=myfile.xyz" target="_blank">Download File</a>. In file_download.cfm use cfcontent and cfheader to either display the image, or force a download with the proper mime type (pdf, xls, doc, etc). This is my "off the cuff" answer. Not sure if there are better ways to do this...
