I am attaching a screenshot detail of what I have currently..
Looking at the Upper Left Category Area: The lighter colored "Category Act as A Link" link on the left will open in a new window (this is good!) The darker "Category Act as A Link" link on the right just opens the link
Do I need to have a custom template ? - Is there a way to not have an apparent doubling of the Category Link? - I have tried ...but everything I do so far - removes the "normal acting" category links for all other categories.
Also when the Category acts as link - so as to not get empty brackets with no # - ex. () after the category name - [Since there are now no links in the Category]
I also inserted CATNUMLINKS after the "otherwise"
Works perfect - Thanks very much

Category Edit - Act as Link:
In the editing of a Category: This following choice is available - which is great
If this is filled in with a URL, clicking on the category will redirect people to the URL.
What I am after is:
Is there a way to have that Category[acting like a link] to force open a new window ... specifically for that Category[acting like a link]?
Thanks to all - for any suggestions in advance

<IF {CATACTASLINK}><a href=... target="blank">...</IF> in the template.

Thanks Paul - that is Good Stuff ...
I am almost there:
(after selecting a category to act like a link - in Category Edit Mode)
Added the following code to the main.tpl
<IF {CATACTASLINK}><a href={CATURL} target="blank">{CATNAME}</IF></a>

...or have I gone about this the wrong way

That did it !
I forgot
Also when the Category acts as link - so as to not get empty brackets with no # - ex. () after the category name - [Since there are now no links in the Category]
I also inserted CATNUMLINKS after the "otherwise"
