Yes, but it will take some digging through the code for the alteration, and it will
not be a trivial task, as there is no "toggle" to have it one way or the other.
The relative javascript involved is shared for [at least] links and button clicks throughout the app, which means, the handling would need to be split between the links and the buttons uses [plus any other app areas that would be impacted], AND insure that
any place that relies on the changes
all still work as expected.
I cannot speak for the TL dev team, but I believe this would be considered a low priority; however, you can add a feature request for this support to Mantis. As far as I know, it seems [based on a quick forum search, but I did not check Mantis] that this is the
only post asking about opening other app pages in other tabs vs. other windows.
Some [newer] browsers have an option to open new windows in a tab instead, but there may be limitations, as noted in this Mozilla info concerning their feature:

Open new windows in a new tab instead: This option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in new windows are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
- Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.
Other than that, there may be a way to at least open some of those in the same parent frame, but I'm not 100% sure about the full ramificaiton of this change to elaborate on the details at the moment.
