how can i create the menu that will open only the article in joomla?

Question

I have created the articles and menu items that links to that articles. This all works.

But now what I want is, when I click on the menu, it should open up only article (without any template feature, no header , no footer and not even the menu).I am opening the article in a new window. From googling what I found is if I add &tmpl=component to the url it will just load the component, and that will show just the article. But I am not sure how to add this parameter from admin screen to the menu items. The link which is showed in admin screen is not editable!!!. Or should I have to develop a custom menu module to achieve this!!!?

Thanks for help. Tanmay

Create a new menu item - External Link and then paste the full URL into the box.
