James, I don't think there is a _simple_ way to get the behavior you want. If you're rendering generic html, you've got the links from html, default target and all.
FYI, LzBrowser.loadURL() accepts parameters to tell it what window to load the link into, and to describe parameters of the desired window, like "toolbar=yes".
