Programmatically open a Javascript bookmarklet in a window opened by parent window

I have a parent window that opens a child window with some URL. Is it possible for the parent window to programmatically execute a Javascript bookmarklet in the child window?

Is this possible (If so how?) or is it prohibited due to security reasons?

Edit

To clarify,

1) The parent window has code that I write.

2) The child window could be any webpage, most often not of the same origin.

3) I want to be able to open a Javascript bookmarklet in the child window from the Javascript code I write in the parent window.

This is the key point.

No, you cannot access the child window, not even to run a bookmarklet in it.

No, that an arbitrary website does execute javascript in some arbitrary other page is prohibited for security reasons. Fortunately.
