I would think this could be changed in the theme.  If not, you could use a simple plugin to insert a JavaScript that does it.

That being said, I would strongly recommend against it.  As others have said, opening links in new windows is not best practice -- it confuses non-geeks and irritates geeks.  Lose/Lose.
