OK, but I can't imagine any scenario where, at least in
our universe of work flow documentation/project management
where we would want that behavior. The links in included
text sections will most certainly want to open their original
page.

What would be *cool* would be to have a way to force such
links (that are inside included text) to open as a new top page.
(so that the original page is not dismissed...)

e.g.

Group1.Page A: Baking.ChocolateChipCookies

has an include from

Group2.Page B: Baking-Documentation.Leavening#BakingPowder#BakingSoda

  and the latter paragraph-section that was included in Group1.PageA
had a link to another page in Group2.PageC

such that when one is in

Baking.ChocolateChipCookies

and there is a link in the  include from to

Baking-Documentation.Sifting

it would open  Baking-Documention.Sifting  as a new top window. such 
that if i closed
it, the Group1.Page A: Baking.ChocolateChipCookies
