HTMLB Link : opening in new window

Hello,

I have a custom worksetmap component (which extends AbstractPortalComponent).

In one scenario it renders a list of sap systems, on click of which, opens a saplogonpad.

Now the issue we are facing is that when user clicks on one such link, worksetmap component screen goes blank.

We are using following way to set HTMLB link properties: -

titleLink.setReference(<link to sap system>);

Is there any way to open this in a new window so that worksetmap component stays on its current state?

Thanks & Regards,

Amey
