Hyperlinks to open in new windows instead of tabs

My suggestion, that also addresses the concerns brought forward by Rod, would be to put whatever you want to show to your learners in a Web Object. No issues with new windows or losing connection with your LMS.

If you are talking about the window that the course itself launches in, that's controlled by the LMS settings.

If you are talking about web pages that are opened from links or buttons within the course content, then that's controlled by the way you set the link up in Captivate.  When using the Open URL or File action, look to the right of the field where you enter the URL.  You should see a small dropdown arrow that gives several options for how the link will open.  You would need to specify NEW.

However, be warned that opening other URLs from a SCORM module is NOT recommended practice because there is the possibility that doing so during the lesson will potentially break the SCORM communication with the LMS, which can mean your learners reach the end of the module and find they are not awarded completion (because the LMS hasn't been receiving communication calls after they opened that other window).  You should do extensive testing with your particular LMS to find out if this issue will bite you.
