I believe this is only possible if you save handles to them as you open them.

Contrary to popular opinion, the plural of 'anecdote' is
not 'fact'.

Something like this...

Saves the popup name in - where else? - the name string of the opener
window. You can then get the (popup window) object back by calling
..open() again & using that name. The browser won't allow two windows
with the same name, so .open() simply loads a closer script in the
original. Storing it in the opener's name guarantees persistence across
pages (yours, anyway). No guarantees with this one...
