Hi Nico!

Yes, it is hardcoded :-(

It´s in "class.tx_damdownloads_pi1.php". Look for the "function 
getWrappedSubparts($lConf)" and change the target in these lines:

#### provides a link to the original file
$wrappedSubparts['###LINK_DL_FILE###'] = array(
	'<a href="'.$row['file_path'].urlencode($row['file_name']).'" 
target="_blank">',
	'</a>'
);

If you want to configure it via TS e.g.
plugin.tx_damdownloads_pi1.linktarget = myframe
you may want to change it this way:

#### provides a link to the original file
$linktarget = $this->conf['linktarget'] ? $this->conf['linktarget'] : 
'_blank';
$wrappedSubparts['###LINK_DL_FILE###'] = array(
	'<a href="'.$row['file_path'].urlencode($row['file_name']).'" 
target="'.$linktarget.'">',
	'</a>'
);
