Would like to keep multiple windows open (layered) using asp.net

Question

In my new Web application, I would like to provide users a way to keep several screens (windows) open. When users open screens using the menu options or dashboard links, the windows will be placed on top of each other like layers. For each new window, I want the name of the window displayed as a list on a side bar.

User should be able to switch between all open screens. Close them by clicking on the 'x' button or close the screen by deleting the name panel from the side bar.

Will this cause performance issue? Can I save all open window data in the view state and clear data as the windows are closed by the user. I know users will like this feature and may keep opening windows one after another and may not close any. But I can set a limit on how many windows can remain open at any time.

I would appreciate some comments and suggestions.

You can use javascript to accomplish this like this on click event in code behind:

Response.Write("window.open('yourdestinationpage.aspx','_blank')")

you can also use jquery, thats easy then java script

There is no such thing as "java script", Java is not a scripting language.
If you mean JavaScript, it has nothing to do with Java.
And jQuery cannot be easier than JavaScript, because jQuery is JavaScript.
First, let's see what OP really want.

Multiple browser windows, or simulation of such behavior in one Web page?

Thanks everyone for responding! Sergey, you brought up a good point. Simulation of the behavior in one Web browser window may create lesser overhead. My mock up has some errors. I will try to fix soon. The non-functional requirement in terms of performance is that each screen should pop up in 5 seconds. With simulation it may not be easy to do. But it is worth trying. What do you suggest?
