You can add a custom filter, as described here:

I used this one:

# /templatetags/url_target_blank.py

from django import template
register = template.Library()

def url_target_blank(text):
    return text.replace('

Example of usage:

{% load url_target_blank %}
...
{{ post_body|urlize|url_target_blank }}

Works fine for me :)
