One advantage I can see in
opening a new window (on a larger screen at least) is you can dismiss
the page by closing that window rather than feeling you are being taken
somewhere you don't want to go. Is this context sensitive?
Yes it is context sensitive, and the context which is important is the
user's. Since the designer can't know in what context (or for what
reason) the user is clicking on any given link it is the user who should
be deciding whether to open the link in a new window or not.
