 * It will be very nice to have a ‘target’ argument in the shortcode in order to
   specify whether to open the related posts in a new window.
 * For example:
    [custom-related-posts title=”Related Posts” none_text=”None found”
   target=”_blank”]

 * I’ll add that to the idea list.

 * Hi there,
 * I wanted to let you know that we just released Custom Related Posts 1.4 which
   includes a new setting to have those links open in new tabs. You can find it 
   on the Settings > Custom Related Posts page.
 * Kind regards,
    Brecht
