HTML in Calculated Column

In a SharePoint list, it looks up a Hyperlink column in another list. After my investigation, Lookup column only supports Text column and Calculated column. 

I decide to use Calculated column and render its content as html. Based on below references link, I add a script file to a content editor. But, it still failed.

After some time, I modify the script file and it works file.

SPFieldUrl: Open URL in a New Window

When I add a hyperlink column in a list and add an item, I click its hyperlink. Then, it redirects current page to the link. But, I want to open a new window when clicking these links.

In fact, I cannot configure it inside SharePoint. After Googling, I discover it can be done by the following steps:

1. Go to folder "Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\XSL"
2. Open fldtypes.xsl
3. Change line '<a href="{$url}" >' to '<a target="_blank" href="{$url}" >'
3. Save the file and restart IIS

After that, I create a new hyperlink column, it opens a new window when clicking its link.
