This doesn't look like a problem that should be solved with Javascript.
For me it looks like a plain old image map: clicking on a defined
region of an image opens up an URL.
If you replace
onclick="showSingle('CCC')"
with
href="http://some.where/something.cgi?CCC"; target="_blank"
you should get what you described: a new window (or tab, depending on
your browser configuration) with the content returned by the URL.
This plain old method has two advantages and you should consider if it
is really necessary to involve Javascript here:
1) no trouble with popup blockers
2) no trouble with deactivated Javascript
