This would make it possible to provide a dedicated name of a frame/window or the keywords that are relevant for frame handling. Default value would be [inlinecode]NULL[/inlinecode], keywords ([inlinecode]_blank[/inlinecode] and [inlinecode]_self[/inlinecode]) would get ignored.

But – and that's a big but – I have no clue how to inject the user setting into the relevant functions. Injecting the forum settings is easy, add [inlinecode]global $settings;[/inlinecode] and you are done. But user settings are optional because not every visitor is a logged in user and therefore I can't use [inlinecode]global[/inlinecode] for it. On the other hand I don't know how to add the user setting to the parameter list of the relevant functions. These functions get called only in the functions [inlinecode]html_format[/inlinecode] and [inlinecode]signature_format[/inlinecode] where the bbcode class gets configured for these special cases.

But this solution looks not really nearly elegant.
