If the base target were [something like "pm_display"] instead of "_new", then users of fullpage chat would get the same behaviour as now
No, it wouldn't. If pm_planet was used for target, the first followed link will open a new window as if _new had been used, but the second followed would overwrite the window opened by the first link (if it's still open) instead of opening a new window.
For example, if you click on each of the following without closing newly opened windows, you'll end up with 3 windows instead of the desired 4.
<a href="?node_id=67275" target="_new"> (jZed's home node)
<a href="?node_id=381608" target="_new"> (my home node)
<a href="?node_id=67275" target="pm_display">
<a href="?node_id=381608" target="pm_display">
I *hate* windows overwritting each other. I've lost much this way.
Update: By the way, _new is non-standard. _blank is the standard target to specify that "the user agent should load the designated document in a new, unnamed window."

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
