Opening a new browser tab in client side through node js

Question

I am creating a twitter chatbot using node js and twit module.

T.post('statuses/update', { status: 'hello world!' }, function(err, reply) {
  //  opening a new window in client
});

Above code I am using for status update. After updating the status, I need to open a link in a new browser tab in the client system.

To be precise, my node application will be running on a server. When some user tweets, my application will send a reply. Along with the reply I need to send a request to open a browser tab / window in the client system from which the tweet came.

Is this possible using node js? Can anyone help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

This isn't possible.

There is no way to identify the client based on the tweet they sent, let alone connect to that client, force it to open a web browser, and then force it to open a specific URL.
