Summary: Can clicking links open a new window?

Initial Comment:
It is very frustrating to me that gaim uses the latest 
browser window to load a page when you click a link 
from inside a message.  Can it be loaded into new 
browser windows only, or at least make a right-click 
option to do this?

Just today, I was typing a rather long message to 
someone on one of my favorite discussion forums.  A 
friend IM'd a link to me and I clicked it(forgetting the 
behavior of gaim) and lost the message I was typing. :(

Thanks for any help

If youre using IE as opposed to FireFox, the option you want 
is :

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing > Reuse 
windows for launching shortcuts

As warp9pnt9 said, this is just how your browser is
configured, if you want it to open new windows, you just
need to configure it to do so.

Well FWIW, I use Firefox, and don't configure Gaim to do
anything, so it uses most recent window.  I configure
Firefox to open new tabs in most recent window.  The result
is I think what you would desire.  I for one much prefer
tabbed browsing to multiple windows.  However if multiple
windows are what you desire, or you don't use Firefox, or a
browser with a similar new tab feature, then I have no idea.
