Opening new page in Apps

I have an app set up to run my companie's intranet site.  The problem is that when I make an invoice and want to print it, the link opens a new page with a printable version of the invoice.   In the app a new page link opens the full browser.  Is there a way to have a new page openend from within an app to open a new app window instead of the full browser?

  • Is the app a UWP application or a Win32 application Cromi? What was the behavior before you installed the preview version of Edge?

      It's the apps feature used in the preview versions of Edge (menu -> Apps).  On non-preview Edge I was using pinned shortcuts. After trying the apps feature, I liked the cleaner look without adding the extra UI elements (tabs, menus, address bar, etc.).  It's just jarring when you click a link that opens a new window and have the browser with full UI open instead of a seperate app style window.
