How can I make a drop-down select list in which some selections spawn a new browser window and others do not?

For such tasks you script the ONCHANGE handler of the SELECT element 
and check the selectedIndex property e.g.:
  <SELECT ONCHANGE="
    if (this.selectedIndex == 1 || 
        this.selectedIndex == 5)
      open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);"
