  There is no option provided in the image widget to do that > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/

  You will have to use a text widget instead.

  In the html editor (as well as in text widgets), instead of this:
  <a href="URL HERE">TEXT HERE</a>
  you write this:
  <a href="URL HERE" target="_blank">TEXT HERE</a>
