Open URL's in MS Edge and reuse the same tab


Today we have an application that has a button which opens IE11 with a tab with customer id as argument. For each button click it reuse the existing IE11 tab.

We need to have the same behavior with MS Edge but I have not found any way to do this. Thinking of passing some argument to edge with "tab-id" e.g.

start msedge --tab-id=myapp https://www.example.com/app?customer_id=123

I am out of ideas :( and would appreciate some input

Is there any way to do this with MS Edge?

  • MS Edge arguments?
  • Extensions?
  • JavaScript?
  • ...?

Solution

  • We ended up with separate Edge profile and installed xTab extension with 1 tab limit and starting Edge with start msedge --profile-directory="profile-name" https://example.com/app?customer_id=123
