As you probably know, when a user is redirected away from a site, the probability of that user returning to your site is reduced substantially. What would be nice is when a user links to the full RSS article, rather than being redirected to the host site, a child widow is opened up. At the very least your site is still visable.

A code snipit was posted in this thread http://drupal.org/node/29683#comment-65478 and works very well for Aggregator.

-1 from me. Edit the template if you want to change the links to target=blank.

I totally disagree. This functionality should be in the module.

No it shouldn't be in module. At least not inside this module. If at all l() function of Drupal should be modified to handle also external links, and call theme function (like "theme_link"). Then it's up to theme (either modify template, or maybe theme could have special setting for that).
It wouldn't be "clean" solution to make new windows only in links from this module, and not from others.
