Browsers blocking new windows

Hi all

I am building a site which contains thumbnail images, once clicked i have set the open new browser window behaviour to go off, in them will contain hi res versions of the thumbnail.
My problem is that by default modern browsers automatically block the new browser window from opening up (popup). And since my target audience is comprised of people who are not too computer savvey i can see this being a problem.

Im fairly new to dreamweaver so i was wondering if there is any code, or something like that which can bypass the popup blockers from browsers. If not any suggestions on some way i could tackle this problem from another angle?
Normally i wouldnt bother with this but as i said the new browser window will contain high res images, which will not fit in my frameset on my site, hence wanting a new window.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
thankyou
