You can accomplish the above with javascript. In the <head> of your document
place

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--//BEGIN Script
function new_window(url) {
link =
window.open(url,"Link","toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=
yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=522,height=282");
}
//END Script-->
</script>

(you can call the width and the height of the new window to your liking, and
change the toolbar, location, directories, status, or menubar to yes if
you'd like them to show on that new window)

and in the body of your document, where your link lays, place this

<a href="javascript:new_window('newdocument.html')">Your link text goes
here</a>
