First off, you can shorten your code and make it more readable using curly brackets:

<a href="{HPATH}"> 
  <xsl:value-of select="HPATH" /> 
</a>

To open in new window:

Lazy, non-standards compliant way:

<a href="{HPATH}" target="_blank"> 
  <xsl:value-of select="HPATH" /> 
</a>

Javascript way:

<a href="{HPATH}" onclick="javascript: window.open('{HPATH}', '_blank')"> 
  <xsl:value-of select="HPATH" /> 
</a>

Or standards compliant way:
