programmatically popup out app in Teams from custom Tab application

How can I create a popup window within the Microsoft Teams Desktop application that functions similarly to the "popup out app" button, instead of using window.open which opens a new browser window? The task module creates a modal popup, but we require non modal. The microsoftTeams.authentication.authenticate opens a window, but it closes when navigating to other tabs within Teams.

I have seen application that perform such functionality. They able to open new Teams window from their tab application in web and Desktop version. Please check below Video:

    vovanb -We checked this video, they are writing their own custom logic to implement this functionality.
    Currently, there is no direct way to create a popup window within the Microsoft Teams application.
    In teams you can use the microsoftTeams.authentication.authenticate opens a window or Task module.

    Could you please help by suggesting this feature on - Microsoft Teams · Community

      Sayali-MSFT sorry I do not understand your statement  "they are writing their own custom logic to implement this functionality." We want to do the same, but we do not know how,

      Can you please explain or provide examples how to achieve it. The window opened using  microsoftTeams.authentication.authenticate closed when you navigate to another tab in Teams so then using something else. This is why I opened thread here and provided example that it is possible so you can not argue that there is no such way....
