It would be nice to open IRC Chat channel in a new window or at least the option to do so through configuration maybe. Reason being is that when you navigate away from that page, you have to access IRC Chat link again. If folks are on the website, sometimes you want to refer to other information on the site and be able to navigate back with current IRC Chat session in tact.

Hi Rose,

This feature is already supported in nearly every browser. Simply right-click on a link and select "Open in New Tab" or "Open in New Window".

I think an option of "open chat in a new window" is a fair idea for a feature. Code can hook into the menu bootstrap/cache and add target="_blank" when desired. I'd envision a checkbox, unchecked by default in the settings screen for the Mibbit IRC module.
