Indeed, when using the Google toolbar, you must sometimes use shift-enter 
to force the linked page to open in a new window.  Sometimes that does not 
work either.  In those cases I try right-clicking on the link with the 
right mouse button and choose Open Link in New Window.  Occasionally that 
works.  If none of this works, you have two choices.  Perhaps the easiest 
choice is simply to turn off the toolbar temporarily, alt-v, enter, g.  But 
you can also left-click on the icon stating how many ads have been blocked, 
and once you do that, pop-up blocking is disabled on that page but remains 
enabled everywhere else.

Of course, ad sites are not excited about the proliferation of pop-up 
blockers.  They will do what they can to render them ineffective.

And so it goes.
