<a href="show_encounter_list.php<?php echo URL_APPEND ?>&pid=<?php echo $pid ?>" target="<?php echo $target ?>"><?php echo $LDListEncounters ?></a>

 

this is if you are using a dtd that has target= as a valid attribute for the a tag

 

OR (and preference) you can use a standards compliant code...

 

<a href="show_encounter_list.php<?php echo URL_APPEND ?>&pid=<?php echo $pid ?>" onclick="window.open(this.href);" onkeypress="window.open(this.href);"><?php echo $LDListEncounters ?></a>

<a href="show_encounter_list.php<?php echo URL_APPEND ?>&pid=<?php echo $pid ?>&target=<?php echo $target ?>"><?php echo $LDListEncounters ? target='_blank'></a>

 

EDIT: ToonMariner  is a better (more compleate reply)
