Support Opening Apps in new window #29

Open nkolba opened 2 years ago

nkolba commented 2 years ago

As per comments from @kriswest

'I couldn't figure out how to open an app in a new window (rather than browserview/tab) other than by raising an intent...'

This isn't a feature currently supported. Not sure how we would make it an option without extending the open API (and maybe it needs extending). Either that, or this would need to be binary - either fdc3.open always targets a new window or always targets a new tab.

Note: there are also an open issue (#13 ) for supporting tear out and drop-in of tabs - which also address this use case to some extent.
