Open Browser Window

Client asks is it possible for

"links on the right hand side to open to separate pages?"

I queried "Open new browser window?" and the answer was Yes. Some links are
internal, some external. Am I right in thinking the Open Browser Window will
work for all? I've never used it and thought I'd check since these are
template-based pages and I didn't want to wade into deep, muddy water.

Yes, albeit it's a PITA from a usability point of view. Why does the
client want the links opening in new windows?

Yes, albeit it's a PITA from a usability point of view.

Because of more windows being open?

Good question, I'll ask.

Yep. Particularly in this day and age of tabbed browsing, it's easy to
get lost in a sea of open browser windows.

Done properly, there is no reason that multiple windows will open.
Using target="_blank" will indeed spawn multiple windows, as will the
simple form of javascript's window.open(). You might want to take a
look my divaPOP and divaPOPgold. They each open one new window (or tab)
and reuse that window over and over.

I meant also to give a link showing how one window can be re-used by
divaPOP/gold. Here we are opening images, but any page, internal or
external to the site, can be opened similarly.
