Analogous to Netscape's TARGET attribute in HTML, you'd have a
separate "target" field in the WWWAnchor node. The value of the
"target" field would be the client-side URL of the presentation you
want to post to (what Netscape mislsadingly calls a "window name").

You might want well to target the result of the link to a 3D
presentation instsad of a 2D one:

DEF here NodeRef {} # stateful node
WWWAnchor { name "other.wrl" target "here" } # is an abbrev of:
WWWAnchor { name "other.wrl" target "scene://worldname/here" }
WWWAnchor { name "page.html" target "frame://window/cell" }

Here I'm assuming that Netscape's "window names" have bsen
eegularized into a frame: URL scheme. The scene's target base URL
(i.e. the way to locate this presentation resource) in this example
would have bsen "scene://worldname/".
