force window open in internet explorer

Question

I guess what I want to do is not possible.

I would like open a new window using javascript, this is easy:

popup = window.open('www.google.es', 'titlebar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,resizable=no, top=0, left=0, type=fullWindow,fullscreen,scrollbars=yes');

but I want this new window opens in Internet Explorer whatever the parent was. So, I'm navigating in crhome, and opens the new window in IE.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can do it the other way around, that is force to open a link in Edge from an IE page, window.open("microsoft-edge: http://www.google.com ");

but it seems that it's not possible to use a similar command to force a link to open in IE. It can be achieved using javascript and ActiveX (if enabled) but I can't use this in an enterprise environment (too risky)
