I think you need to explicitly return false in the no window.open
case. target="chicken" may not "popup" if there is already a
child called chicken. target is deprecated, which might cause some
policy problems, even though it migh tbe better than the scripting
approach.
I think the reason for using window.open is the designer's dislike of
letting the user control things using standard browser window controls,
so they normally turn off *all* the controls that they can, at the same
time. The other reason is that is the standard implementation of the
popup window virtual style in some authoring tools!
