[Akrosid]

How can i do for that?

That feature isn't available, I've been meaning to add it in. I won't be able to work on this for a few days, but if you want to add it in yourself before I can, I'm sure conditional logic in the plugin would do the trick.

Here are a few ideas on how to target external links only:

Update: this is now available.

To achieve this, add a class onto the links you want to filter out, for example class="external".

Use the new 'filter' option to filter out these links. ( i.e. ':not(.external)' )

See the demo for a clearer example:

Let me know if you run into any problems!

If I understand what you're asking, it sounds like more of a WP development question. I don't develop WP themes regularly, so I'll try to help the best I can.

I did find this article after a quick google search, can't promise it's 100% up to date, but sounds like what you might want on the WP back-end:

If this is for a theme that will be distributed, I'm not sure if you can rely on the user to add the correct class.

Another option might be to target all links which are external in your navigation with javascript and then add a class to them.

Some jquery approaches for trying to target external links in this way:

Like I said, I'm not a wordpress theme developer, so if these don't suit your needs, I'm not sure if there are other WP plugins or options out there that might fit your situation better.
