Is there any method to redirect a page like ns_returnredirect but open in a new window?

ns_returnredirect returns a 302 with the "Location" field of the HTTP header set to the new URL. As far as I know, there's no way via the HTTP header to tell a browser to open that URL in a new window.

However, you could redirect to a page which would open the final URL in a new window using JavaScript. Something like: 

    .../popup_url?final_url=http://blah.com/foo/

Or more efficient still, return a page which already contains the Javascript for opening the final url in a new window.  You may also want to redirect the main browser window back to the original URL.
