How can I do this - One web page controls another

I am working with a web developer who is telling me this can't be done.
I know most of your first thoughts will be "go fine another developer" but for reasons I can't get into here, that's not really an option.

So my question is:
How can I have a web page - let's call it "/control.html" that:

1. when you click a button on control.html it launches a new browser window with a specific URL - let's call it /mainpage.html
That page will have some variable of graphics and info.

So now you have two browsers open, one with control.html and the other with mainpage.html

2. Now you click a different button on control.html it changes what is displayed on mainpage.html. so effectively one page is controlling what is displayed on the other.

The URL must remain /mainpage.html and must remain open in its current browser and must display the new info being "pushed" from control.html without needing to be manually refreshed.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Not sure you are understanding the question....

I do need two browsers, because I need both open at the same time.
Maybe I should have started here:
The purpose is to display info to an audience.
So on the control page you have a list of things you want to display.
The mainpage.html displays the actual information.

I need two windows open at the same time. The mainpage will be displayed on an extended desktop and output to a projector. The other stays on the local screen for the presentor to control. Very simular to a standard PowerPoint presentation.
Graphic was banged out in Photoshop .
