Default Re: target="_blank" Google Maps

I briefly looked through the new MyMaps feature of Google Maps and cannot find any settings or options that allow a target to be set for the links within the map.

I am used to using the Google Maps API which is more flexible than the MyMaps, but obviously much more difficult to use than MyMaps. Depending on the complexity of your map requirements, you may want to look into using the API as opposed to the MyMaps interface.

Failing that, there may be some HTML/JS trick to assign a target to the IFRAME itself. Setting a base target on your main page won't translate to the IFRAME, and the W3C spec does not allow for a target parameter within an IFRAME tag, so offhand I am not sure how to accomplish that, either. Perhaps there is a way to create a JavaScript object from the IFRAME and assign a target to it?

Hope that helps.
