You could accomplish this by attaching a window.open() function to the
onload event, and then passing a variable in the URL like this.
http://yourcalendarapp.com/viewCalendar.htm?cid=41&openPopUpEntry=3241
Then add some logic in your page to check for the openPopUpEntry
variable and insert the javascript if it's present.
However, there are problems with this. Many browsers and 3rd party-add
ons block pop-up windows. An alternative to consider is to display this
content in a div so that it appears window-like and selectively showing
and hiding this div to create a window-like effect.
