How can I avoid the IE7 pop-up blocker when opening same-site links in a new window?

If I have a page with a regular link, to another page on the same site, using target="_blank", it appears the Internet Explorer 7 pop-up blocker will catch it.

For example the "Try it yourself" link here: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp

Is anyone aware of a way to have a link open in a new tab/window in IE7 without triggering the pop-up blocker? I'm surprised that it will suppress links within the same site using target="_blank" - they're initiated by a direct user action. E.g. Chrome does not block those lin开发者_运维技巧ks from opening new tabs.
