Since I cannot have a subreport within a subreport. Can I open a subreport within a new crystal window so my subreport becomes the primary and will show the links to the subreport?

I don't think so. But lets back up a bit. What is your database type, show us some data examples, and compare your desired output versus what you are getting now.
There is usually a way to get from point A to point B.

You can't do this with Crystal but you can buy or develop your own viewer application (using the runtime components that are included in Crystal Developer).
For a list of 3rd-party Crystal viewers see:
My DataLink Viewer allows you to launch another Crystal report by double-clicking any section in a report you are viewing. A formula you place in the double-clicked section provides the information about the report to launch, the parameters to pass to the launched report, as well as the User ID & Password (if not shared with the initial report).
By the way, if you maintain a listing of reports in a database table, you can create a report that acts as a "menu" for launching these reports. In other words, this type of functionality has other benefits besides overcoming the subreport-within-subreport limitation.
