Not sure if I got this one right, but if you're looking for a JS alternative to "target=blank" then this one works and is xhtml valid:
onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank'); return false;"

You'd do this via JS as well, here is a short snippet using mootools:$$('a').each(function(el){ if(el.rel == 'external') { el.addEvent('click', function(e) { e = new Event(e).stop; window.open(el.href, '_blank'); }); }});

A:
This job cannot be done with PHP. PHP is on the server side while your problem requires interaction with the client. This is a classical thing you'd use javascript for.
In case you use JQuery things become extremely simple:
// pretend you have links in your page <a href="link.htm" rel="external">Link</a>
// please note that the rel-value can be chosen at will
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a[rel="external"]').click(function() {
window.open(this.href, '_blank');
return false;
});
});
