Yes, I have had to do this a lot in my code. The trick is to split things into two functions. In one you issue your ajax call using the regular prototype ajax.request function. In the oncomplete handler you call your second function and pass the ajax response. In the second function you create your window and use the win.getContent function to load the content data passed from the ajax call. This may seem a little complicated, but in practice it works easily, since you only ever call the first function. The second is only called by the oncomplete of the ajax call. Conceptually, it is one function with a synchronous ajax call in the middle of it.
