[solved] opening links from terminla (alacritty) in new window

as it is, new links open as new tabs in default browser but I'd much prefer it opening a new window.

I have tried going trough config files and the wiki / man pages for alacritty but haven't found anything relevant

Alacritty uses xdg-open to handle urls with the default config.  Either adjust xdg-open to do as you want, or specify a different command in the regex handler for links in your config file.
