Looks like I was wrong as Chrome must track clicks somehow because when I
placed the window.open() code inside a DOMContentLoaded event listener it
didn't work. Also when using setTimer() to click a link, chrome said
"popup blocked", so that didn't work either.
Your manual mouse click must be required at some point to start the process
of opening a window. Chrome apparently does a good job of tracking all the
JavaScript initiated from a click.
I can use *setTimer()* to open the window at a later time, but it *has to
be initiated from within code started from a mouse click.*
