Link opens a new window...How To?

We have a report that links to another report. The A report is a posting on
our intranet and we'd like to have it so when a user clicks on the link for
the other report it will open another window for them. Any ideas on how this
may be done?You can try putting someting like this
= "javascript:void(window.open('<insert url here>','_blank'))"
in the Jump to URL section of the action property.

as part of the url rc:LinkTarget=_Self
this will make all report links in the report open up where the parent
report is.

I have tried using the javascript code below on a report of mine and it does
not work. I put the following in the "Jump to URL" on a field as a test to
make sure the code works:-
="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank'))"
I deployed the report and ran it (we are just using the standard report
manager web site), but when I click on the field to invoke the jump to all I
get is a "page cannot be displayed" message and this message is in the same
window as the report.
If I shift and click the field to force the link into a new window then I
get the same "page cannot be displayed" error, but as soon as this window
opens I do get a new window with google in it. So, the code seems to be
working directly from IE but does not work from within RS.
Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks
Dave

rendered page, it is putting 'TARGET='_top' into the a tag :/ ) They need to
add a 'target' property to the 'jump to url', bit of an oversight tbh :(

it, or just from visual studio?
My first attempt at this gave me an error regarding the link's schema type
and said it was invalid. But after deploying to the report server it worked
fine.

Did you get this to work, I am getting the problem where it only works if I
use the shift key when pressing the mouse button.
Was it a server change or report as the same is happening on all reports?

mistake.
Remember that it is the url to the "master"-report that will need the
parameter "LinkTarget", it is not the action-links to the "Detail"-report
that will need the parameter.
Url 1: http://localhost/rerportMaster&rc:LinkTarget=_blank
Url 2 (Action In report 2): Anything (renders with target=_blank)
I struggled with this for a long time before I realized my mistake.
