    Is there a way to make the links open in a new window so that
    we aren't sending visitors away permanently out of my site?

    I don't think it's allowed.

    Can I open the ads in a new window?
    We understand the importance of maintaining the quality of your site and your site's user experience. However, at this time we do not have an option to open Google ads in a new browser window. Please do not modify the AdSense ad code or alter the result of clicking on an ad on your website, as this is against our program policies.

    of course, the user themselves can choose to open it in a new window. if that happens, it's entirely out of our control. (unless of course, you teach them how to do it)

    Is it a violation of the AdSense TOS to mention here that holding down the shift key while clicking on an ad will launch it in a new page?

    More seriously, I think from a practical perspective, Google will avoid allowing this because while opening ads in a new window will register clicks, most ad blockers will not display the window.
