No matter what your client /wants/, opening a new window *is* a popup.=20 You can do it without a new window by having the link initially goto a=20 page on their own website, prior to going to the external link.

If you try and use Flash or whatever to defeat the=20 popup blockers, your solution will fail for people who don't have Flash.
