Question

I have a link on my web page. When I click it I open a new window and show content in that window.

I would like to be able, in a second time, to click again in that link and, instead of opening a new browser window/tab, to get the previous instance and put content on it.

Is it possible in some way?

Thanks in advance, greetings.

In HTML you do this by specifying a named target:

<a href="page2.html" target="myotherwindow">Link 2</a>
<a href="page3.html" target="myotherwindow">Link 3</a>
<a href="page4.html" target="myotherwindow">Link 4</a>

All will open in the same window.

Note: If the user has their preferences set to open new windows in tabs, these will all reference the same tab (vs. window)
