Question

Answer 1

Yes this is possible. First you need to save the refrence to current window.

String parentWindow= driver.getWindowHandle();

The after having clicked the link, you need to switch to the other window.

List allWindows = driver.getWindowHandles();
for(String curWindow : allWindows){
    driver.switchTo().window(curWindow);
}

This is where you perform operations on new window, finally closing it with

driver.close();

and switch back to parent window

driver.switchTo().window(parentWindow);
