Download a file in a new window

I have a link on web page that causes the download dialog box to appear.
When the user clicks Save - the file is put on their hard drive. Great!

But when they hit Open, the current browser window is replaced with the app
(Excel, etc.).
I would prefer to have the Open occur in a pop up window of some sort.

Is this possible?
Appreciate any sample code if it is possible to do this.

Thanks!
