Can I force click on hyperlink to open in new tab when click on link

Can I force click on hyperlink to open in new page when click on link?

My page is part of a frameset, and links to one site has changed so it prevents the link working if comes form a frameset, but its fine if user does does cntl-click to open page in new tab.

But user doesn't know that so I want a usual click to open in new tab as well to workaround this issue.

With just HTML:

<a href="www.targetpage.com" target="_blank"> Click here </a>

Documentation on target

You can also try with javascript (jQuery):

$('a.myLink').trigger(
    $.Event('click', {
        ctrlKey: true
    })
);

Documentation on Event

Use target="_blank" inside your link tag: 

<a href="link" title="link title" target="_blank">link title</a>
