How do I get a link in a web viewer to open in WebDirect's parent browser?

Given a layout that has a web viewer on it and uses the "data" protocol to calculate some HTML that contains links, how can I get those links, when clicked, to open in the parent web browser of WebDirect instead of within the web viewer itself?

In the anchor tag, you can specify the target attribute to open in a new window. 

<a href="your_link.html" target="_new">click</a>

    You were close, but it was enough to get me googling. I needed "_top" instead of "_new". ty.
