Hi HotCakeX .

I had not seen that there is a difference between pinned websites and PWAs. Thnak you for that hint.

But what I want to suggest is having a one-click way to open websites pinned as web apps form within the browser. At the moment when I enter the URL of my sites pinned as web app the web page openes as normal tab. But I want to open the pinned site as web app. So I have to navigate the following menu: "Settings & more" > "Apps" > "pinned site". Therefor an easy way over an folder or an link syntax would be nice.

P. S.: The people at Microsoft can watch this discussion when they reading my feedback, because I have send a link to this discussion within the feedback.

You're welcome,

I think for that there needs to be an option (as suggested before) so that for example when I have Bing website installed as app in Edge and then go to www.Bing.com, Edge automatically switches to the installed app instead of loading the site in a normal browser tab.
