That's more of a browser function than an evo one....

I'm running Firefox on desktop 3 and Evolution on desktop 2 (in Gnome)
and had the same annoyance.  The solution was (in Firefox) to go to
about:config and find this key:

browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground

Change to TRUE.

Now I can click on a link in Evolution on desk 2 and it (silently) opens
in a new tab in Firefox on desk 3.  Doubtless other browsers have a
something similar. I don't know how to avoid having FF pop up over evo
if FF is not running; I always have an instance running on its dedicated
desktop.
