You could use jQuery's $.each function to iterate over all Anchor tags, perform the needed check and set the "target" attribute using $(this).attr("target","_blank");

Example (Not tested but should work):

$('a').each(function(index) {
    var link = $(this).attr("href");
    if(link.substring(0,7) == "http://")
        $(this).attr("target", "_blank");
});
