A Multi-Tab view on a single page will work fine where clicking on the link will open a new Tab for that particular asset (use Ajax to fetch data from that particular page).
While using this approach, you can easily keep track of Tabs (which in turn represents an asset) and focus the Tab related to an asset if it is already open and user make attempt to click the link again.
Generating Multi-Tabs using javascript can be easily found on www (although, dynamic generation of tabs need to be worked on)
Hope this will help.

We have already so many tabs in the page.So we cant use a tabbed approach.
Eric : That looks like a good way to tackle this problem.But it fails when the user refreshes the home page.Also the winPop is available only to the homepage.
And sorry about my senseless title and lack of line breaks.
"Sounds like he does not want to open up another pop up window if one is open. Has nothing to do with not letting them go to the page after they went there once. " - Exactly.Or let me put it this way.I don't want to open another window if its the same asset.
The same check needs to be performed in already opened asset windows as well if the user tries to click a link from the asset window.
