Mar 1, 2010 at 16:40 comment added Alastair J I'll update the question to clarify -- lots of lightboxes are being used as modal dialogues (see Find/Replace in one of the 37signals links).
Mar 1, 2010 at 15:48 comment added Mashhoor If the Lightbox plugin lets you point to the image itself in the image link, then I'm afraid you will be able to open it in a new tab.
Mar 1, 2010 at 15:29 comment added Janel I like that your links show both sides of the coin. It raises some interesting questions.
