Links in SVG embedded in other HTML will open embedded inline - lack of 'target=_top'

Question

To present the SVG result in a HTML page the SVG will be embedded. Selecting a link in the SVG will
effectively use target=_self (the default) and hence replace only the SVG diagram with the referenced page.

The wanted behaviour is to generate the link in SVG with a target attribute set to something specified in the
diagram or by the plug-in and submitted as a run time parameter to PlantUML. Always including target=_top
will also do the trick and could be a good enough behaviour.

Ok.

In the last beta: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

We did the following modifications:

• By default, we add target="_top" in the SVG generated link (should be the better default dehaviour)
• We add an optional skinparam svgLinkTarget if you want to set up a specific target. Example:

@startuml
skinparam svgLinkTarget foo
start
:foo1 [[http://www.google.com]] end;
stop
@enduml

Is this what you are expecting ?

Few tests have been done. So if this sounds ok for you, this will be included in next release.

Thanks for the suggestion!
