open editor in new window  [ 746 views ]

The editor link generated by a function named edit_post_link with the following command:

edit_post_link('Edit','',' |');

So this function generate a <a href=""></a> structure.
There is no target attribute defined. We need to change this manually.
Open the ..wp-includes/link-template.php file and find this row:

$link = '<a class="post-edit-link" href="' . $url . '">' . $link . '</a>';

Just add the target attribute and done.

$link = '<a class="post-edit-link" href="' . $url . '" target="blank">' . $link . '</a>';
