I am trying to open a link in a new popup window but the link always open either in same page or in a new tab.

see below my code:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('.link [type="text"]').each(function(e,el){
var link=$(el).val();
var link2=$(el).val();
link2= "link"
$(el).replaceWith($('<a href="' + link + '"return !window.open" target="_new">' + link2 + '</a>'));

});
});

window.open is the correct method, but I'm pretty sure the default behavior for modern browsers is to open a new tab instead of a separate window.

Have you tried using target="_blank" instead?

You can't force a new windows rather than a tab by changing the link's target attribute, because that's controlled by the user's browser settings. According to the internet, you'd have add more JavaScript to do that.
