Open up new window for external URL

I'm trying to use "Jump to URL" to link the report to external web site.
However, I find that there's no way to open up a new window. It seems
inconvenient for user to close the report whenever external link is clicked.
Does anyone have idea to resolve this?use target=_blank

However, I had tried several time to type "target=_blank" together with URL
for "Jump to URL" insides Navigation tab and error was resulted.
Is there any trick required?

my feeling is that the solution here is where you are in another webpage
(not Reporting Services) and want to have this happen. Not when it is using
the jump to url. What you can do (and this is something I just learned this
week) is to use the ability with SP1 to use javascript. For you jump to URL
put in the following expression:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com'))"

google and the other one had the
javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com')) on the address bar. It
was interesting!!
