Adsense ads in a new window

I just sent an email to the Google Adsense team. The email was subjected about Ad Problem and it sounds like this:

Hi..actually this is not actually an Ad Problem that i want to tell here. I am just wondering if Google AdSense team can give an option to all the publishers to choose if they want their ads to be opened in a new window or not. This feature is always available in any affiliate program. If its not available, publishers can change the ad code to put target="new" at the URL link.
Why i’m asking this feature to be included in adsense? Well, for me the reason is only one-I DONT WANT TO LOSE A VISITOR.
Yes. By allowing an ad to be opened in a same window will cause any publishers to lose a visitor.

By having an optional feature like this, a publisher like me can choose to make the ads to be opened in a new window. I believe some publishers out there believe that a visitor worth a penny and i dont want to lose even one just by they clicking an ad in the adsense ad.

However, if this feature is not possible to be implemented by Google (which i think is not logic), then its OK. I am just giving a suggestion to make AdSense more interesting.

Thanks.

So, what do you think? Do you want this feature to be added in AdSense? If a lot publishers interested, i think i will conduct a poll in this blog so that Adsense team can know how important it is to have this feature available in adsense.
