Each link can set, within the html-source, a so-called target. Basically
it can use
this to say whether the new-page should be in the same view, or whether
a new one
should be created. We had a bug in here, current CVS KFM should handle
this correctly.

If you think you still get "too much" new windows please check the HTML
source of the
link you clicked. If you then think KFM does not treat these links
correctly please let 
me know as soon as possible. (We will be releasing soon).

As for after KDE 1.1 the following options might be nice to have:

Always open links in new window / default / Never open links in new
window.
(Somewhere in a menu, so that you can change it quickly :)

Cheers,
Waldo
