[Xerte] Re: Using <embed> tag in Online Toolkit

[Pat Lockley]

<a href="url" target="_blank">link text</a> is the only option short
of media converting

depends on what else you'd want to do, the xerte code lives inside a
div, so you could write a popup div block of code. Inside that DIV is
an iframe. Use javascript to set that iframe SRC and show the div.

That might be a feature worth coding.....
