No, setting the location of the window can only be used to load a new page in the same window.

To open a new window you use the open method with a target _blank:

window.open('http://www.guffa.com', '_blank');

To open a new browser window, use the window.open() method. For example, the following code opens this page in a new window.

myRef = window.open(''+self.location,'mywin',
'left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0');
