Redirecting to a URL, how to put in new browser window

In the onChange of a comboBox I am using facesContext.getExternalContext().redirect... to redirect to a URL outside the application based on the combo value selected.  How can I get that URL to open in a new window/tab in the browser?  It currently opens in the same window.  Is there an equivalent to target="_blank"?
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

AFAIK you can only do server-side redirects in the same window.

To open a new window you could use some clientside script that performs a window.open(url) call.
