How to open a new page in a window

Question

How to click on a link in a window with native=True, instead of allowing it to jump through the browser and open it in the window, and support clicking on x to close the jump page。

ui.link("python", '/abc', new_tab=True)

ui.run(
    title="python库学习",
    favicon="favicon.ico",
    storage_secret='THIS_NEEDS_TO_BE_CHANGED',
    language="zh-CN",
    host="127.0.0.1",
    port=3002,
    show=False,  # 不自动在浏览器中打开
    native=True,

)

If I understand correctly, you would like to open the link in a new window instead of a new browser tab. That's currently not possible.

Let's convert this discussion into a feature request.

Would this only be working in Native mode?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Would what work?

To open a new page inside a new window running in native mode. Assume u want to build a note taking app and pressing on the add button, opens a new window where u talk your note (kinda like sticky notes on windows)

The original question was about opening a new window in native mode, which is currently not possible. You're asking if this would only be working in native mode. So, yes, opening a new window in native mode would only be working in native mode. But again, it is currently not possible. Maybe we will find a solution for non-native mode as well. But I expect this solution to be rather different because window management in pywebview is a different topic than communicating with a browser.
