How can I have one of my main menu links in the header (nav bar) to open up in a new window?

Hey Shehryar!

While in the _menu_ section of WP click on _Screen Options_ located at the top right corner of the page and tick _Link Target_. The option to launch the menu link to a new tab should then appear like seen in the screenshot below.
