How to redirect URL to new window?

From server-side you can only redirect to a different URL in the same
window. You need client-side help:

<a href="...." TARGET="otherwindow">.....</a>

javascript:window.open("url", "target");
(if I didn't mix the params)

Correct but clarification is called for. The _blank attribute value should be
used and the value of the href attribute is the page to be loaded in the new
window.

<a href="..." target="_blank">Link Text</a>

You don't *need* the "_blank", you can use other predefined names
(_parent, _top, _self), or supply your own. If you supply your own
name, multiple clicks on this link or other links (with the same
target) will reuse this window.
When you use "_blank" each click will open a new window. This might or
might not be what you want.
