Found that hint on the great fsckblog.

Safari comes with a good defaults-command:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true/false

The defaults command is a toggle and defines it Safari 3.1 opens links in a new window or in a new Tab.

The long version howto change a default value:

1. Open Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities/)
2. Enter the command as posted above. Keep in mind that you have to use either true OR false.
3. Press enter and done

If you are not used to command-line you could easily use Secrets to enable to change this setting.

But to be honest, i am really wondering why apple has to “hide” such features for usual mac-users. Shame on you Apple.
