You certainly could, but generally speaking new windows will by default come "over the top" unless they already happen to exist. (I forget if you click a link with _blank defined if it launches two windows or reloads in the same one). Is this something that you're only seeing in a certain browser or is it happening consistenly in all browsers? Just seems like an odd case to me?
