But what I'm talking about is when I put an image in page or a post, by default if you linked it to another web page it opens in the same window so if a user clicks on it they leave your blog. I wanted the user clicking on it to open in a new browser tab so they didn't leave my blog.

I accomplished that by using the steps above.

Hope that helps!

I think it will help you most.

The question was asked more than once so I think others are wanting to do it to.

I figured it out! So I thought I would post it here so it will show up on forum searches. (I don't know where else to post it.)

I inserted my image through add media.
I set the link URL to none.
Then, while I was viewing the text of my entire page in Visual mode, I selected my picture just like I would select text that I wanted to link.
I clicked on insert/edit link, pasted in my URL and selected it to open in a new tab.
