I couldn't see the wood for the trees... thx for the hint!

Just for the archieves, here is how I implemented my navigation with support 
for a property "Target":

  List  list = cms.getNavigation().getNavigationForFolder();
  Iterator i = list.iterator();
  while (i.hasNext()) {
      CmsJspNavElement current_element = (CmsJspNavElement)i.next();

        if (current_element.getResourceName().equals(filename) ||
            current_element.getResourceName().equals(foldername)) {
            out.print(current_element.getNavText());
        } else {
            out.print("<a class=\"menu\"");
            if (current_element.getProperty("Target") != null) {
                out.print(" target=\""
                  + current_element.getProperty("Target") + "\"");
            }
            out.print(" href=\""
                  + cms.link(current_element.getResourceName()) + "\">" 
                  + current_element.getNavText() + "</a>");			
        }
    }

many thanks again,
