Sure. EXTERNAL is just an arbitrary name you gave to your new window. 
Any links that target EXTERNAL will target this window, named EXTERNAL. 
What you want to use is TARGET="_BLANK", which has the special behavior 
of always opening a new window. (The only targets with special behavior 
are the ones starting with an underscore: _blank, _self, _parent, _top)
