<script language="Javascript"><!--
function zoom( ) {
  var win= window.open(...);
  win.write('<IMG src="..." width="..." height="...">');

I'm pretty sure it's not doable in the same window.  But it's not a lot of
work for the web server to generate a page having the right zoom settings on
it... still relatively light on the network... the key is browser caching of
the source of the zoomed image.
