When the LinkButton Enabled property is false it just renders a standard hyperlink. When you right click any disabled hyperlink you don't get the option to open in anything.

try

lbnkVidTtile1.Enabled = true;

I'm sorry if I misunderstood. Could I just make sure that you understand the purpose of a LinkButton? It is to give the appearance of a HyperLink but the behaviour of a Button. This means that it will have an anchor tag, but there is JavaScript wired up that performs a PostBack to the page. If you want to link to another page then it is recommended here that you use a standard HyperLink control.

LinkButton executes HTTP POST operation  you cant change post target here  Not all the browsers support posting form to a new target window  In order to have it post  you have to change target of your  FORM   You can use some javascript workaround to change your POST target  by changing form s target attribute  but browser will give a warning to user  IE Does   that this page is trying to post data on a new window  do you want to continue etc    Try to find out ID of your form element in generated aspx  and you can change target like     getElementByID  theForm   target     blank  or  myNewWindow

From the docs      Use the LinkButton control to create a hyperlink-style button on the Web page  The LinkButton control has the same appearance as a HyperLink  control  but has the same functionality as a Button  control  If you want to link to another Web page when the control is clicked  consider using the HyperLink  control    As this isn t actually performing a link in the standard sense  there s no Target property on the control  the HyperLink control does have a Target  - it s attempting to perform a PostBack to the server from a text link   Depending on what you are trying to do you could either    Use a HyperLink control  and set the Target property Provide a method to the OnClientClick property that opens a new window to the correct place  In your code that handles the PostBack add some JavaScript to fire on PageLoad that will open a new window correct place
