I recently added a note about this in the wodev wiki site, updated for
something more specific to your case.
http://wodev.spearway.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WODev.woa/wa/
Main?wikiPage=OpenLinkInNewWindow
Using this technique, you can bind an action method or pageName binding
to a regular old WOHyperlink, and it will open in a new window. Also,
it works even if javascript is disabled in the browser (just not quite
as slick).
There may be issues with backtracking limits, if a user is going to
click on a whole lot of thumbnails from the same page, but I haven't
tested that. Might work fine. If there are issues, you should point
the thumbnail links to a DirectAction.
Any improvements are appreciated, of course.

Dear List,
I am in the beginnings. It's hard. Somedays I feel fine, because
something is going well, as I planned it. Somedays it's hard, because
there is such a huge number of THINGS to consider and nevertheless it
doesn't work the way I'd like to have it.
I am translating a website that was built using HTML/PHP/MySQL to WO.
There is a page with a lot of thumbnails for picture portfolios that
come out of the DB (with WO) and they should, if clicked, open a new
window with specific dimensions and load a page in it, that can browse
through the pictures.
It was solved by invoking a JavaScript on click to the thumbnails and
giving it dimensions of the new window and PHP parameters that
triggers the generic portfolio page to load the requested images into
the portfolio.
Now, how to do this in WO. I have the first page working that shows
all the thumbnails out of the DB. But how to trigger opening a new
window with specific coordinates? Or, if I should embed the old little
JavaScript to open the new window, how can I trigger the window to
load my generic portfolio WOPage and how to transfer the parameters
about which portfolio pictures to load?
I've got no clue.
Somebody has?
Any help, hints, or links to explanatory material are very welcome!!
Best regards,
Magnus
