Stupid little javascript workaround for when you are too lazy to do it in the html. Pretty fast, saves pain.

requires this little function:

function strripos(haystack, needle, offset) {
  //  discuss at: http://phpjs.org/functions/strripos/
  // original by: Kevin van Zonneveld (http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net)
  // bugfixed by: Onno Marsman
  // bugfixed by: Brett Zamir (http://brett-zamir.me)
  //    input by: saulius
  //   example 1: strripos('Kevin van Zonneveld', 'E');
  //   returns 1: 16

  haystack = (haystack + '')
    .toLowerCase();
  needle = (needle + '')
    .toLowerCase();

  var i = -1;
  if (offset) {
    i = (haystack + '')
      .slice(offset)
      .lastIndexOf(needle); // strrpos' offset indicates starting point of range till end,
    // while lastIndexOf's optional 2nd argument indicates ending point of range from the beginning
    if (i !== -1) {
      i += offset;
    }
  } else {
    i = (haystack + '')
      .lastIndexOf(needle);
  }
  return i >= 0 ? i : false;
}

and the jQuery bit:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {	
    // add target="_blank" to all *external* 
//create array of all *internal* urls that should NOT go to a separate window
    var internal_urls = Array('domain.tld','127.0.0.1','domain.tld');
    $('a').attr('target',function(){
        var url = $(this).attr('href');
        var target = $(this).attr('target');
        if(url == '#' || strripos(url,'http',0)===false){
            return '_self';
        } else {
            var i=0;
            while (internal_urls[i]){
                if(strripos(url, internal_urls[i], 0)){
                    return target;
                }
                i++;
            }
            return '_blank';
        }
    });
});
