If all what you want is not to open a new page every time the user clicks a link. You could set a target from "_blank" to some framename, like this:

<a href="http://www.example.com" target="myframename">link</a>

In that case when user first time clicks the link a browser will open it in a new page with the framename attached to it. The next time user clicks a link. The browser will check that framename is exist and not open a new one, just activate existing.
