Personally I find this infuriating. I can open in a new window if I want by
middle-clicking in Mozilla, but I don't like pages which make the decision
for me. Besides, left-click is standard for 'open link in this window' and
having it open a new window is potentially confusing to your users.

<a ... target="_top"> will ditch your frames but open in the current window.
You can still middle-click (or whatever) to get a new window if you want one.
