How to open a VF page as a pop up in another VF page's onclick?

Hi I have a command link on a Visualforce page and I need to open another VF page as a popup window on click of the commnad link.

This is my Commnad link in the main VF page.

<apex:CommandLink Value="Select Product" onclick="window.open('/apex/oppprdpage?id={!as.lnkass.SalesOpportunityId__c}')"/>

Right now, on click of this link the new page is opening as a new tab but I need to open the new VF page as a popup window. Is there any way that I can achieve this?  (Basically I am trying to replicate the standard lookup window).


Thank You in advance for your help!!

 

Regards,

Sravan.
