yet another open link in new window question

Yeah, one of the most F'ed of FAQs, but perhaps with a twist. I have
links opening in a new window, I just don't like what it's doing to
other aspects of the list.

I'm trying to add this feature to many existing lists on an existing
site, however I do not want this feature on all links or all lists.
I'd like to avoid methods involving a new site template or adding web
parts.

I've gone the 'David Shower' convert list view web part to XSLT data
view in FP and edit hyperlink properties route. And that works
great--the link opens in a new window, and I can save the change to a
list template that can be applied to existing lists.

The problem is the edit column for the list items
ListName/EditForm.aspx?ID=## becomes a display link when I convert the
list view web part to XSLT. I've tried editing that hyperlink's
properties, changing %7b$URL_Display%7d?ID=%7b@ID%7d to
%7b$URL_Edit%7d?ID=%7b@ID%7d or even the more literal
EditForm.aspx?ID={@ID}.

The link displays correctly after the changes, but clicking still goes
to the display form rather than the edit form. That is in my modified
list, the link EditForm.aspx?ID=1 opens DispForm.aspx?ID=1

Any ideas to resolve this issue? Or do my users just have to suck it
up and right/shift-click when they want links to open in a new window?

TIA.
