can I open a new window at the URL level?

[nosrednae]

When I hit a shortcut I created for a particular weblink it always
drops the page into my current browser. I know how to write code to
open a link in a new window, but the standard shortcut properties only
ask for a URL. Is there "URL-code" that I can append to a URL that
will cause the link to be opened in a new window?

No.

As you formulated in your Q, it is not a Javascript Q.

Please follow up elsewhere.

No.

Configure your browser to open links from external sources in new windows.

Contrary to the other answers, you can do what you want to do. Instead
of making the bookmark point to a URL, make it point to a bookmarklet:

javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com');

Save it, name it, and you are on your way. One caveat with IE7 is that
doesn't always open it in a new window, for me and the configuration I
have it opens it in a new tab.
