Yes and no, don't think you intend to, but you may be mixing technologies. You refer to hyperlinks, etc, which is web technologies and windows, which is not unless you use javascript or ajax. With PHP you can cause your browser to open a new browser by adding target="_blank" to the hyperlink, but you cannot easily disable functionality of the old browser (It's still open, just usually covered up by the new browser), and if the user clicks your hyperlink again a 3rd browser will be opened. You could name your target (target=mypage) which means if the user clicks it a new browser will be opened, and if the user clicks the same link again, a 3rd window will not be opened, but the page in the "mypage" target will be refreshed.
