Hi Travis, Eric, and Others, OK, if setting Safari preferences to force opening pages in a new window won't work, here's another suggestion: if you're focused on the link, try turning mouse keys on by pressing the option key 5 times, then do a Control-click on the link. You should see the options for "Open Link in New Window", "Open Link in New Tab", "Download Linked File", etc. Arrow down to select the option to open the link in a new window and press return. Then turn mouse keys off again by pressing the option key another 5 times. I think that Eric may already have the mouse keys option checked to allow him to turn them on or off with 5 Option key presses, but for everyone else, this is under System Preferences > Accessibility (or Universal Access pre-Mountain Lion) under the Mouse & Trackpad options. There should be an options checkbox you can check that lets you press the Option key five times to toggle mouse keys on and off. And now that I think of it, with mouse keys turned on, you can press Control+i instead of doing a Control-click to bring up the context menu for the link. No need to click on the trackpad, since the point of mouse keys is to give you keyboard key access for these actions. Also, in Mountain Lion you should be able to press Fn-Command-Option-F5 to go to the accessibility options window.
