I am using express.
I knew there were res.send, res.render and res.redirect methods.

but is there a way to open a new window?

thanks all.

ExpressJS is web framework for NodeJS

below functions are used to provide response to incoming request 

res.send(), res.render()  res.redirect(), res.json(), res.download()

opening a new window in browser is not part of expressJS

you need to use different npm for Headless browser like Puppeteer

example code : 

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: false});
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://google.com');

  await browser.close();
})();

Note : headless: false will show you tab open in browser,

This would need to happen on the client side via

window.open("link", "_blank")
