My website uses javascript for various pop-ups such as additional info for products, as well as customer reviews. I believe there is no way these can be spidered by the search engines, correct?
What are some alternative methods to getting a pop-up window crawled.
Is it a good practice to create another html page and simply have it open up in a new window (target=new)?

Yes, popups can be crawled. A lot of popups rely on javascript--and are actually separate html pages. The javascript code usually includes a URL of the popup, and some of the spiders are now finding those URLs and crawling them.
My personal preference, though, is to stay far away from popups. Most people don't like them and in a lot of cases the popups are blocked by popup blockers.

I was speaking of pop-up windows that open when a user clicks on a specific link (not an entry or exit pop-up with various offers). Thanks for your reply though.

Some of them can be crawled; it depends how complete the calling URL is. If it includes the full domain name then search engine bots can more easily recognise it as a URL.

That's fine, in any case there's going to be a URL somewhere specifying which page to pop up. So, most likely the spiders will find and crawl those URLs.
