Javascript popups in page flows?

Question

Is there a way to make a popup window in a page flow? I want to have a
link which will use Javascript to pop up a new window, but I don't like
having to hard code the link to that window instead of using the page
flow functionality.
What I've been able to get working is:
<script language="Javascript">
function createNew() {
window.open('/MyPortalWeb/mydir/create_item/create_itemController.jpf','newItemWin','height=500,width=500,scrollbars');
</script>
Create New Item
Is there a way to do this with netui tags, so that I can use actions to
direct the page flow, and still get the ability to open the link in a
new window?

Apologies, that last message was not complete...
You can try using:
<netui:anchor href="/myNestedFlow/Controller.jfp" anchor="A"/>
But, one thing to note for GA, there is a limitation where you cannot
call 2 (or
more) pop ups and expect to maintain 2 pageflow stacks. Only the current
pageflow
and it's nested stack are kept in the session. Having a 2nd pageflow
will stomp
on this first one.
For SP2, out sometime in dec, there will be a workaround for this:
<netui:anchor href="../a/FlowA.jpf" target="_a">
<netui:parameter name="jpfScopeID" value="scopeA"/>
Page Flow A (scope "scopeA")
</netui:anchor>
<br>
<netui:anchor href="../b/FlowB.jpf" target="_b">
<netui:parameter name="jpfScopeID" value="scopeB"/>
Page Flow B (scope "scopeB")
</netui:anchor>
Each scope has its own idea of the current page flow and the current
stack
of nested page flows.

How about
Popups and pageflow don't work together in 8.1GA because only the current
pageflow
and it's stack (of nested pageflows) is maintained in the session. 8.1sp2
(out
sometime in dec) will be able to handle this. It will look something
like this:
<frameset cols="50%,50%">
<frame src="../a/FlowA.jpf?jpfScopeID=scopeA" name="frameA">
<frame src="../b/FlowB.jpf?jpfScopeID=scopeB" name="frameB">
</frameset>
Each scope has its own idea of the current page flow and the current
stack
of nested page flows.
