Best Practice for JS - window.open() in href or in onclick?

Question

Just a question about optimization, between :

<a href="#" onClick="javascript:window.open('myUrl.com');">link-1</a>

and :

<a href="javascript:window.open('myUrlBis.com');">link-2</a>

Is one better than the other ? Or more compatible ? Thanks.

Best practice is to use the target attribute:

<a href="http://myUrl.com" target="_blank">link-1</a>

If that doesn't suit, a click handler (ideally not assigned via attribute) would be my take.
