Laurie --

On my company's site I have developed a tiny icon for links that pop up in
a new window (off-site links, for example). This icon sits inside of the
link in question and is at the end of the link text. I give it the alt
text "this link pops up in a new window." The alt text supplies the proper
info to text reader users, and the icon gives that information to sighted
users.

See, for example, http://www.sitescape.com/next/pr_art2003.html
