Hi Bryan,
U are right that it is not always possible to open each links within same
browser.
And for Screen reader also, it is not always problematic to brows the link
that opens in new window.
But while making a link that opens in a new window don't forget to attach
additional information (opens in new window or any meaningful one) to the
link itself.
Reason, in some browser, like firefox, screen reader does not give any
information that link is opening to new window. However, in Internet
Explorer, when any link is clicked that opens in a new window, screen reader
itself announce "new browser window" along with URL of a new page.
And usability tips addressed by Whitney might be helpful for Sighted user.
Best regards,
Subhash Chhetri
