Using showModalDialog or window.open in JS to open a URL from the same domain in a new window is OK in almost any browsers.
But opening a cross domain URL using those functions will be prevented by some browsers like Chrome for security issues.
I am wondering if there is any hack way in Javascript to achieve the open cross domain URL using functions like showModalDialog or window.open.
Not entirely sure, but you could try opening a popup that points to your own domain and:
Perform a browser redirect to the URL you like
Or, create an iframe which occupies the full width and height of the popup page and load the target URL inside it?
Hackish, but works.
