Are you users going to change page A once page B is up? If not, you
can just encode the contents of the "magic" text field in the link and then
feed it back to B when B is rendered.
If your users want to change A though and have page B recognize that
fact, then you need to get some javascript going and have window A "push"
the data into window B.
Also are you talking about two tabs on firefox/mozilla? Or are you
looking to open page B as a popup window e.g. via the javascript
window.open?
