It look likes the prcoess of opening links in a new window is just coded into the forum, since you can't override it by using target=parent html.  It would be nice if you could just have an option to NOT open a new window from a link.  It would even be fine if this was just possible when linking to a NA page.

The reason I'm suggesting this is because I would like to be able to do a type of  "thread contents" with links to various sections.  it would be nice to be able to link to anchors in posts for a "jump to" contents menu without opening a new page everytime.  I used this in an old Finders post I made about my collection (which I need to go update lol).  But as you can see, clicking the jump to link is a little annoying when it opens a new tab everytime.

This would be great for any number of extremely long threads that are on the forum.
