I believe a best practice is for your web pages to use the same TARGET

I would have to disagree with that. If the user actually _is_ aware that
they are about to open a new window, then does the same again somewhere
else on the page, or on another page, then they are going to be very
confused to discover that only one window has opened.
How can a use be aware that a new window has opened if it hasn't?
I get annoyed by links marked with "will open in a new window" or
similar, because in my browser, it will NOT open a new window, and
I think for many people that is the case. Does anyone NOT disallow
pop-up windows?
