CSS: No.
JavaScript: Delegate a click event, which adds a target="_blank" attribute on click of a link.

document.body.addEventListener(function(e) {
    if (e.target.nodeName.toUpperCase() === 'A' && e.target.href) {
        e.target.target = '_blank';
    }
}, true);

Note: If the element contains other elements, you might want to traverse the tree to find out whether an anchor element is clicked:

document.body.addEventListener(function(e) {
    var target = e.target;
    do {
        if (target.nodeName.toUpperCase() === 'A' && target.href) {
            target.target = '_blank';
            break;
        }
    } while (target = target.parentElement);
}, true);

Or, if you're a jQuery-lover:

$('body').on('click', 'a', function(e) {
    e.target.target = '_blank';
});
