According to http://manual.b2evolution.net/Tag_item_anchor you start of with:

$Item->permanent_link( array('class' => 'permalink_right'));

The link_before things come before the < or link_after after >. These are normally spaces, but you may want to make a seperated list with " | " or <li>. So these are not what you are looking for.
You may try:

'use_popup' => false,

but that's more like a JavaScript popup.

Good luck

Try this:

$Item->permanent_link( array('class' => 'permalink_right" target="_blank')); 

The trick is that whatever you put in for class will get double-quote marks put around it, so the above bit would translate to:

<a href="whatever" class="permalink_right" target="_blank">foo</a>

I'm not 100% sure that this will work, but

$Item->permanent_link( array('class' => 'permalink_right',  'target' => '_blank'));

and to think I spent hours getting target="_blank" out of the core, that and bloody border="0" :-S

Time well spent :)

ohh yeah ;)

¥åßßå, class="permalink_right" passed through in the link, but not the target part.

EdB's suggestion was on the mark.

<?php
	$Item->permanent_link( array('class' => 'permalink_right" target="_blank'));
?>

Now, I just need to pass the title rather than just the permalink. Neither of the following things I tried did what I am looking for.

<?php
	$Item->title( array('class' => 'permalink_right" target="_blank'));
?>

<?php
	$Item->title( array(
		'link_type' => 'permalink',
		'class' => 'permalink_right" target="_blank',
	) );
?>
