Try this:
<a href="page.html" class="new-window">Page</a>

window.onload = function() {
    var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
    for (var i=0;i < links.length;i++) {
        if (links[i].className == 'new-window') {
            links[i].onclick = function() {
                window.open(this.href);
                return false;
            };
        }
    }
};

or using jQuery which could be changed to extJS:
$(function(){
    $('a.new-window').click(function(){
        window.open(this.href);
        return false;
    });
});
