Re: Usefulness of "Opens in New window" Indicator for non-blindness

I'd say the same would be true if you had "new window," many, many times. I understand that sometimes especially in tables that have the same link but the table is different like (Accounts Payable) (Accounts receivable) it's ok to have "account number," as maybe a detail link. But I don't get why if you're going to have links that take you to a new window, why you can't put the "opens a new window," or "new Window" after the actual name of the link. Maybe I missed part of this thread but that's how I see it, especially from a links list perspective.
