You can create a pushbutton that opens a URL using pure HTML syntax.
> that's an external link?
<html><input type='button' value='label'
onclick='window.open("URL","_blank")'></html>
...and, if you are doing this more than once, you can use:
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AliasPlugin
to create an "instant macro", like this:
<<alias URLButton [[<html><input type='button' value='%0'
onclick='window.open("%1","_blank")'></html>]]>>
which allows you to easily write:
<<URLButton "click me!" "http://www.rabbithole.com/">>
enjoy,

I assume you know about PrettyLinks:
[[label|url]]
That pretty much renders a special macro obsolete, no?
As for the JavaScripte route:
var place = document.getElementById("mainMenu");
var url = "http://www.google.com";
createTiddlyText(createExternalLink(place, url), url);
HTH.

Eric,
That's an interesting concept in itself... It's a bit like macro-writing for people that can do HTML but can't do Javascript.
I'm always happy to see examples of one tier of technological skill open up to a less able tier.
