Yes/No (although a better term might be 'spawn a new window').
You'll need to use Javascript though, if you want the spawned window to
differ in size from the user's default, otherwise the new window will
simply sit on top of the original.
Don't forget to put a warning -- something like 'site opens in a new
window' at a suitable place on the page. This will help:
(a) Users of screen-readers/talking-browsers who might miss the audio
queue to tell them a new browser window is opening, and
(b) People who have been using for the Web for less than 5 minutes and
don't realise that such a thing is possible ;-)
regards.
