I must admit I don't exactly understand what you mean by that. How  
would I give a window
a custom name? Something in the DOM model I'm not aware of?

I tried that and it doesn't work. When using the following bindings:

Hyperlink3: WOHyperlink {
        action = myCustomAction;
        target = "window.opener";
}

it does still open it in a new window. Depending on how FF's settings  
are, it opens
a tab in the popup window or a new window alltogether.

I know, I just used the example to depart from.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions so far.
