suppress "This site is trying to open" prompt
Show the Always open ... option by GP: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#externalprotocoldialogshowalwaysopencheckbox

I have looked at that but Presumably that will also suppress the prompt for all sites not just your sharepoint portal.
A rather dangerous option with office documents.
You (As admin ) also dont have any control over what people suppress the prompted for.

I may have misunderstood your query. I thought you were trying to find a way of preventing the prompt from appearing; it can be very annoying if it is displayed frequently as you go about your daily business. This is what the GP does.
You'd have to test it, of course, but my reading of the policy is that it will show the Always open ... option for the site concerned until it is selected. Thereafter, no prompt and the resource opens on selection. In other words, the prompt is suppressed - as you appeared to want to happen.
Hi, Noel Burgess
What I want to do is stop Edge prompting when opening documents from a specific site (Our sharepoint) (any documents)
I want to leave the default behaviour ( to prompt) when users access documents from other sites (Ie the wider internet)
I need to set this as the default without the need for end user interaction.The URLallowlist (despite what the description says it does) can be used to prevent prompts for a particular document type ( ms-word: ) but then wont prompt for that file type from any site.
KrisSmith Thanks for reaching out and asking about that prompt. I've looped our Enterprise team in, and will let you know if they have any additional insights on GPOs for this.
