Possible to auto-check "Open in new window" for inserting links in SharePoint 2010?

Question

I'm looking for a way to auto-check the box for "Open in new window" when inserting a link using the Insert tab in the site ribbon of SharePoint 2010.

Is there a way to configure this in the SharePoint settings available through the browser? If not, are there steps I could take in SharePoint Designer?

No, you will not be able to set this setting in any easy way.

You will need to either use Javascript to always check this checkbox, or use a delegate control enabled on all sites.
