As I said, there's no current mechanism to discriminate between different types of links. If you click on a link in a table of contents you want that material to appear in the main window rather than as a pop-up.
I suppose it might be possible to build a complex multi-stage rendering system in which you click once to get a link in a pop-up, press a button to dismiss the pop-up or press a different button to render the material in the main window, and then press another button to get back where you came from when you realise you previously pressed the wrong button, and then press yet another button to send an angry email to whoever designed such a cumbersome system.
Far better just to wait for the spec to be revised.
