[Bug 1548575] Re: [webapp-container] Outside links don't always open in overlay

[Michael Terry]

By that logic, _blank should open in Browser and non-blank should be in
an overlay, right?  Since an "in browser view" is closest to an overlay.
But that's the opposite of what happens today.

As a webapp author, I don't have control of which the web site uses
though.  In my concrete case, I have a webapp for theoldreader.com (an
RSS feed reader, which always uses _blank) and one for m.reddit.com
(reddit, which doesn't use _blank).

But in both cases, I believe an overlay is the best experience.
Switching to the Browser is a huge context switch.  And temporary page
views (as happens with RSS and reddit) tend to leave lots of tabs left
over in Browser.

So at least as a webapp author, I'd like the option to enable overlays
for non-_blank links.  But let's hear from Design too.

[Bug 1548575] Re: [webapp-container] Outside links don't always open in overlay

[Alexandre Abreu]

not really no, the intent behind the link is not the same in the two
cases, as expressed by the target="_blank" for which the intended
behavior is not the same as an "in browser view" navigation to a new
url,

[Bug 1548575] Re: [webapp-container] Outside links don't always open in overlay

[Michael Terry]

Well that question doesn't quite accurately capture the current scenario
with "as it is the case now".  Currently we have some external URLs
opening in an overlay and some in the Browser app, depending on how the
link is constructed by the webpage author.

But I agree with the question's premise that all external URLs should be
treated the same.

And I'd welcome a command line switch to give some control to a webapp
author.

Adding design to the discussion to answer the question:

should all the urls external to a webapp be opened as an overlay or in
the default browser (as it is the case now)

[Bug 1548575] Re: [webapp-container] Outside links don't always open in overlay

[Alexandre Abreu]

It is not a bug it is the intended behavior,  the decision to change the
behavior to open an overlay in all the highlighted situations does not
seem as obvious to me since the websites intent is slightly different in
the two cases.

A command line option might be a good intermediate solution until we
have a more definitive answer.
