As of my knowledge these both are used for creating links :

What is the main difference between $this->Html->url and $this->Html->link in Cakephp?

Is there any performance issues occurs for using these?

What if i want to open link in new tab using "$this->Html->url"

What i tried :

<?php echo $this->Html->url($item['News']['link'],array('target'=>'_blank', 'escape' => false)); ?>

but its not working. open link in same tab.

Thanks in advance.

    That is like asking what the difference between apples and trees are. The other requires the other to exist ;) in this case url() is needed for link() to exist and function. – mark Sep 28 '14 at 11:17

Well, according to CakePHP Documentation, the HTML->url takes two arguments, the 2nd one is a boolean while the first is a routing array. Try this: 

<?php echo 
    $this->Html->url(
             array(
                   'href' => $item['News']['link'],
                   'target' => '_blank',
                   'escape' => false
                   ),
             false     // Second argument, true means prepend the path of my site before the link while false means don't prepend
     ); ?>

This is what the $this->Html->link() method is for. It takes an array of options as parameters to do this.
