  It's possible, but it's not a matter of just turning it on.

  Solutions include:

  • Add custom javascript into the page via a content editor web part
  • Create a custom site definition and modify the SCHEMA.XML using CAML
  • Write a new custom field type (C# code)

  I don't have any samples at hand for 2010, but perhaps the other forum members have pointers. Here are some links the solutions mentioned above implemented in SharePoint 2007, they'll give you rough idea of the work involved. Since they relate to older versions of SharePoint they may not work as written.

  SharePoint 2007 examples:

  Insert JS via CEWP: http://mindsharpblogs.com/Todd/archive/2005/08/16/654.html

  Modify schema: http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/articles/SharepointLinksListOpenInNewWindow.aspx

  Custom field type: http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/edwin/archive/2007/03/02/let-sharepoint-link-open-in-a-new-window.aspx

  This, along with many other problems and glitches in SP2010, leaves me with the distinct impression that we are beta testing it.
