How do I use Target=_blank on a response.redirect?

Question

I do not necessarily have to use response.redirect, but that is what I had. I would like to open the selected link in a new window. How do I do that?

You're trying to accomplish a client-side task from the server side, so you'll need to do a bit of hacking.

One option is sending back a page that's just a bit of JavaScript, which then will handle the redirect.

This isn't particularly clean, but what about:

Response.Write("");
