I think that you can accomplish it with a mix of Javascript and server logic. You could make an AJAX call (e.g. with DWR) and then, depending on a parameter, you could open a window or redirect to another page. This is just a "proof of concept", not real code, but at least it is a step forward :-) Antonio
