How about extracting href attribute from link and using it to open a new window with separate command?

|storeAttribute | SOME_LOCATOR@href | mylink |

|openWindow | ${mylink} | |

EDIT: more specific example

|open | http://twitter.com | |

|storeAttribute | link=About@href | mylink |

|openWindow | ${mylink} | |

This opens Twitter's About page in new window.

My advise to you will be to not test this. Both of the items you are trying to test are features of the browser itself and not of the web application. So if your aim is to test the web application, you are not adding any value by testing the browser.
