Use case

Browser APIs allow users to open urls in multiple ways:

• same window
• new window
• new window with an specific name
• an already existing window

Currently we don't provide mechanisms to specify those behaviors, instead we force users to open all urls always in a new tab.

Proposal

To give users control about how they believe an specific url should be opened, my proposal is to add a new windowName web-only param to the launch method.

Future<bool> launch(
  String urlString, {
  bool forceSafariVC,
  bool forceWebView,
  bool enableJavaScript,
  bool enableDomStorage,
  bool universalLinksOnly,
  String windowName,
  Map<String, String> headers,
  Brightness statusBarBrightness,
})

That will be used by the web implementation like this

  html.WindowBase openNewWindow(String url, String windowName = '') {
    return _window.open(url, windowName);
  }
