在新标签页中打开此页面

Question

Is it possible to make a web page so that it opens in a specific tab when it is opened from a hyperlink? Ideally with a given target name.

If one has control over the calling page(s) that link to the site, it's possible to specify the _target attribute <a href="https://mypage.com/resource/{{id}}" _target="{{id}}"

In this case, is it possible for the destination page https://mypage.com/resource/{{id}} to say "I'd like to open in a new tab with this specific target" regardless from where it's linked to?

Answer 1

No, you can not achieve this functionality from javascript.

However this can be achieved by message passing using browser extension.

Browser extension with proper permission to access tabs you can inject dynamic code.

But this can not be achieved just from javascript

Answer 2

I think this is the best you can do, open in a new window. I typically have to do this when using an API or something that doesn't allow for use in anything but the Chrome browser, so I use a link to open in chrome.

Using something like:

window.open(url,'_blank');
window.open(url);

Answer 3

No, you can't quite override other tabs, if that's what you're asking. You can, however, open your link in a fresh tab like this:

    <a href="http://www.mypage.com/" target="_blank">

If you really need to, you can look into using cookies, but that's somewhat difficult to use in this situation.
