    Yes but, I'm not certain what you mean. This sort of thing can be done with many variations. I get the impression that you want to open in a new window with a template that gets the image from the link that opens it. This can be done and looks very nice when all goes as planned. However, browsers are increasingly removing control over pop up windows from designers and developers. There are pop up blockers, there are settings to put all new windows in tabs, there are settings to disallow control of a window's settings via javascript. All of these plus the added overhead (on slower systems) of opening a window at all and the possibility of trying to open a window too large for the user's screen, make this a less than ideal solution. A better idea is to pop up a division on the page with the larger image in it. This can be customized but, must fit within the existing window (an important consideration with any method) so the large image should be no larger than 700x500 pixels.
