From javascript alone you can't open a new window without using window.open(). Also you have no influence on how the window is opened in new browsers. It depends on the browser-settings whether this opens a new tab or a new window.

You can declare that you want a new window by defining target="_blank"href="..."> on a a-element, but then the user has to click it. Otherwise if you trigger a click with javascript you will run into the popup blockers of the browsers.
