No matter what your client /wants/, opening a new window *is* a popup. You can do it without a new window by having the link initially goto a page on their own website, prior to going to the external link. But if you open a new window, for whatever reason, you are going to get caught by popup blockers. If you try and use Flash or whatever to defeat the popup blockers, your solution will fail for people who don't have Flash.
