Try opening a link with "Open Link" (Cmd-O).  This will open a new window  
directly onto whatever link you want.  I also recently "discovered" the Open  
File command (Cmd-o) which is similar but looks specifically at the filesystem  
with a normal open panel.  I find it quite convenient.

I have my OW set to open nothing on startup, since I  do a lot of my browsing  
on real Black NeXT hardware.  (You can't beat two 20" color monitors, at  
least without spending a ton o' money. :-)
