I think it's a useful technique in web applications, for certain
specific purposes.  It's often preferable to launch help pages in a
separate window, for instance.  Even there, though, it's a good idea to
such links visually distinctive so that this behaviour is predictable
(to a user who has become at all familiar with the application, that
is).
