FR: Click on a notification opens website in user-selected form (window not tab) |
||||
Issue descriptionIt would be nice if there was a way to force ChromeOS to open links in the form chosen for the relevant web app within the app launcher. For example, I have added and bookmarked Facebook and added it as a web app in the launcher set to open as a window. If I was to click on a notification from http://facebook.com, I would love it if it would open Facebook in my chosen window form rather than in a new tab.

Please also consider clicks on normal websites. E.g. I pinned YouTube and configured it to open in its own window. Then I see a link on Facebook pointing to YouTube. Clicking it would open the link in the YouTube window.

+cc installability folks I would certainly like to see this. Unfortunately, I believe mobile is being prioritised right now, but it definitely makes sense that added to shelf sites on Chrome OS should behave like standalone sites on mobile. I don't think it's too tricky to implement notification and app deep linking like #0 suggests since we should be able to query sites which are installed as bookmark apps (though from vague memory it's more complicated to figure out if something is in the shelf or not).

This is tough as currently Facebook gets a list of it's currently open "client" and chooses which to refocus programmatically so we'd likely want to keep support for that. If the thought is: when opening a *new* client we should respect the windowing mode set if the site is installed as a bookmark app then that SGTM to add to the backlog, but is way less important than our current mobile A2HS work, so I'd encourage us to focus there.

Interesting - recent proposals about a new SW event would help with this.

#6 the proposal is this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jWLpNEFttyLTnxsHs15oT-Hn8I81N0cwUa3JjISoPV8/edit This would allow you to capture the navigation event and redirect it back around into an existing app window. |
