Force posted links to open in new windows

[Dave58]

Forums are in domainname/forums/ and I obviously want links to other sites to open in a new tab/window. So I use that setting, but it seems that it applies to everything outside /forums/ including stuff on the same domain that is in different folders. So I'm just throwing the question out there to see if anyone knows if it's possible to somehow alter that setting so that it opens links on the same domain name in the same (_self) window.

In ACP - System - Posting click on the Links tab and you'll see an option to "Force posted links to open in new windows?"

Thanks, but that's not the question. I already have that setting turned on.

What I mean is that I'd like pages outside my forums root (which is at mydomain.com/forums)

e.g.

mydomain.com/page.html

or

mydomain.com/otherfolder/page.html

to open in the same window/tab.

Everything outside of the forums dir is forced to load in a new tab/window, where ideally that would only apply to pages on other external domains.
