Create a drill down for a field in visual force page

I have a visual force page based on a custom object. I have include this page as a section in Contact standard page. I need to create a drill down for one of the field to naviage to custom object detail page. The outputlink I put as the following
<apex:outputLink value="/{!fa.ID}">{!fa[field]}</apex:outputLink>
If I do this way, if I drill down, the target view is rendered inside the section in Contact standard page, the URL doesn't change.

If I do the following
<apex:outputLink value="/apex/{!fa.ID}">{!fa[field]}</apex:outputLink>
If I drill down, it navigates to some URL, but the target URL is not right, the URL is https://c.na15.visual.force.com/apex/a04i000000EJYTZAA5.

So value="/{!fa.ID}" is correct, but only specify this as value, it doesn't navigate to out from the contact standard page.

You'll need to set the location of the parent window through javascript to achieve this. Should be close to the following:

<apex:outputLink onclick="window.location='/{!fa.ID}';" value="#">{!fa[field]}</apex:outputLink>
