Select onclick that contains _blank

Question

i select links with empty target to set title attribute

jQuery('a[target~="_blank"]').attr('title', 'New window');

which is working.

But when I select the onclick attribute that doesn't work

jQuery('a[onclick~="_blank"]').attr('title', 'New window');

any clues?

the link looks like this:

<a onclick="javascript:this.target=&quot;_blank&quot;" title="" href="http://link.com">link</a>

This seems to work for me using Attribute contains selector -

$("a[onclick*='_blank']")

Could you use this?
