Answer 1

You can give a name to the window you opend.

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://www.stackoverflow.com', 'mywin'); return false;">Click here to open window first</a>
<br/>
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com', 'mywin'); return false;">Open link in specific window</a>

Edit

You can name a window (or tab) on some browsers.

<script>
    this.name = "mywin";
</script>

And open a link to the tab.

<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com" target="mywin">Open link in specific window</a>

It works on IE, but not Chrome...
