It can be annoying when a web site link automatically opens up a new window, especially if you prefer tabs to windows. You can force all of these kinds of links to open a new tab by using the Terminal and changing a Safari preference. Simply type:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
