Hi Voger As the second tab will be opened by a link, you won’t have a window to postMessage to/from and AIUI there is no way to get one. This means that the only way to communicate with the main application in the first tab is via the server - and the only way to do that is to poll the server for changes.
How quickly that updates the main app obviously depends on how often you poll, but there is a technique called “long poll” where you asynchronously poll the server and the server waits for a “long” time until there is something to return. This minimises the number of round trips you have and can simulate server push, although it does mean that your server will always have a connection open for every client.
