Opening new page in Apps
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 :-)

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunatly that didn't solve my problem of links opening the browser, instead of another app window. If it helps, the link style I'm using is a href="link" target="_blank". I will keep trying when a new update is made available in the Canary branch.
Cromi, interesting. I just checked and it worked for me with that HTML, so please do try with a more recent build or something. Maybe make sure that after you set that flag to enabled, that you relaunch the browser and PWA.
