Please, please. :) Don't try to force the user - let them be normal links.
This is an open source project, lets be the "nice guys". I hate links that
open windows and I really think that linking properly is a virtue.

Yes, btw - that was for two reasons:

1. I am unsure about if Squeak is x3j20 (or Smalltalk-80) "compatible" out
of the box.

2. There is no stated goal that Squeak *should* be compliant/compatible
with any of these two "standards". For example, when we start using Traits
for standard library code then we aren't really Smalltalk-80 anymore.
