title: WidgetMessage: tm-open-window
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

The `tm-open-window` [[message|Message]] opens a tiddler in a new //browser// window. If no parameters are specified, the current tiddler is opened in a new window. Similiar to `tm-modal` any additional parameters passed via the <<.param "paramObject">> are provided as variables to the new window.

|!Name |!Description |
|param |Title of the tiddler to be opened in a new browser window, defaults to <<.var "currentTiddler">> if empty |
|template |Template in which the tiddler will be rendered in |
|windowTitle |Title string for the opened window |
|width |Width of the new browser window |
|height |Height of the new browser window |
|paramObject |Hashmap of variables to be provided to the modal, contains all extra parameters passed to the widget sending the message. |

The `tm-open-window` message is best generated with the ActionSendMessageWidget, which in turn is triggered by a widget such as the ButtonWidget. It is handled by the core itself.

<<.tip """When used with the ActionSendMessage Widget, <<.param 'param'>> becomes <<.param '$param'>> """>>
<<.tip """Parameters <<.param template>>, <<.param windowTitle>>, <<.param width>>, and <<.param height>> require the ActionSendMessageWidget.""">>
