Nice to hear.

My colleagues dearly wanted me to implement an additional feature:

  Provide an additional "target" field for actions. This
  field is meant to control the "target" attribute of the "a"
  tag and allows to present actions is a specific frame
  or a separate window.

It was very easy to implement.

Your original code (the one I use since months) did some automatic
conversion. At least, I am not aware that I had to run a conversion
script.
