Not positive, but I think it would work just to add a target column and do:
<a href="$URL$" target="$target$" class="barlink">$ANCHOR$</a>

...for the default link_template.  No changes needed to bar_link.

Of course if what the OP wants is to always have a target of "_blank" 
for external links but not for any other link types then it would be 
best to modify bar_link to do that, imo.
