if you examine the typolink-fuinction in tslib_content, then the target is 
used:
1. read the conf['target']
2. analyse the kind of link (file, internal, extermnal etc.
3. if external, read conf['extTarget'] and use
4. if link is given as list of params and param target is set, use this 
target (e.g. http://usrl _blank class title)
5. store target in lastTypoLinkTarget
6. if userFunc call it

i hope that makes it clearer.
