I am sure there is a way to do this as EGL is just JSF under the 
covers.  Much of the UI API's in EGL are simply conduits to get client 
code dynamically built to be rendered and acted on by the browser.

Here is an example of what it looks like in "raw" JSF for a project I 
have built:

<h:outputLink
    value="downloaddocument.jsp?docuid=#{uiobj.document.uid}&type=o" 
    target="_blank"  
   styleClass="copy"
   rendered="#{uiobj.printJob.statusuid != uiobj.printJob.statusidDsp}">
   <h:outputText value="#{uiobj.document.name}"/>                    
           
</h:outputLink>

Notice the "target" attribute.  Maybe do a search on the EGL 
documentation for something that resembles that attribute?
