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?- CromiCopper Contributor
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.

Good morning, Cromi, thanks for sending feedback. Have you checked out the edge://flags page? If you filter the view of flags to PWA, you can enable this feature via edge://flags/#enable-desktop-pwas-stay-in-window
Looking forward to see feedback on that... obviously, it's experimental :-)
