This is not a built-in function.
Details...
.....
var remote = null;
window.name = "content";
function
openRemote(contentURL, windowName,x,y){
wh='height=' + y + 'width=' + x;
remote=window.open(zotURL,windowName,wh);

The control window can use calls like:
....
<a href= "x.html" target="content"> xstuff </a>
....

openRemote is called with stuff like:
....
<a href="javascript::openRemote('remote.html','remote', 200,500)">Open Controls</a>
....
