Well,....
for instance you can set the Target property for any hyperlink to "_blank"
and it will trigger a new browser window when the hyperlink is executed.
Also, in the dataGrid property window you can set "_blank" in the target
dropdown and the same thing happens.

There is certainly no user action in either of these examples.
