Refreshing new windows with multiple linked topics

I have created a glossary as a single topic containing bookmarks associated with each glossary term. In other topics within the project, I link terms to the glossary and open the glossary's bookmarked topics in a new window. However, each glossary term opens in its own new window, so that there are several windows open after a while. Is there a way for each glossary term to open within the same window, so that the secondary (glossary) window refreshes as each hyperlinked term in the primary window is clicked?

Have you thought about using a auto sizing popup instead? By using the "New Window" you are saying that you want a NEW window opened each time the link is clicked so it is doing exactly what it says on the tin. You may be able to achieve the result you want using a little JavaScript to close an active window either via a "Close this window" link or after a set time period.

Those are both potential solutions--thanks. I was hoping there was a way to replaced the contents of the "new window". In older versions of Robohelp, I thought I was able to define a secondary window that would replace itself every time a topic opened in the named secondary window.
