The current target of the featured products links/images is "_blank" and setting it to "_self" in FeaturedProducts.ascx doesn't help.
<asp:HyperLink ID="hylink2" Target="_self" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ModelName") %>' runat="server" CssClass="SmithProdText" NavigateUrl='' />
If there is a use for both, then allow this setting to be set in the Settings.
I just don't like new windows opening up for my users when they are staying on the same site.
