      laziness, and the fact that I make suggestions to software makers all the time and none ever listen, so I gave up on even trying

        You can add the target tag in your themes files
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> " target="_new"><?php the_title() ?></a></li>

        If your talkin' links in the DB its easy enough to write something in Perl or PHP to access directly from the MySQL data

                If you mean links added through Manage Links then that would be in the editor.
                Theres an option there.

                        yes, the one added through the admin

                        and yes, I know there is an option there....but not for 60 links at once

                        hence, from the beginning again, I would love if it bulk edited

                              Do you hav PHPMyadmin installed.
                              Its actually very easy to do if so.

                              After log in select the DB
                              Click on wp_links table
                              Click Create PHP Code
                              The query would look like this:
                              UPDATE wp_links SET link_target='_blank' WHERE link_target='whatever is there now'

                              Click go
                              reload the table to see changes

                              Same could be done for link categories or any thing else.

                              This could also be done in Perl or PHP, not a plugin just a simple script
                              .
                              .

                                    Those all do post or drafts, nothing for links which is what Jace was asking for.
                                    Search and Replace looks like a good place to start.
                                    With some editing of the script could easily be made to do it
                                    .
