You need to send new data to the original window with an additional of a
javascript that opens a new window which will load the data you want to
display on the new window (this requiters you can save the data or send it all
as URL arguments).

Another possibility would be if you can affect the a TARGET value for the FORM
with help of a javascript that is linked to the Open-in-new-window option.
This is the most elegant solution.
