Open URL's in MS Edge and reuse the same tab-CodePudding

Today we have an application that has a button which opens IE11 with a tab with customer id as argument. For each button click it reuse the existing IE11 tab.

We need to have the same behavior with MS Edge but I have not found any way to do this. Thinking of passing some argument to edge with "tab-id" e.g.

start msedge --tab-id=myapp https://www.example.com/app?customer_id=123

I am out of ideas :( and would appreciate some input

Is there any way to do this with MS Edge?

MS Edge arguments?
Extensions?
JavaScript?
...?

We ended up with separate Edge profile and installed xTab extension with 1 tab limit and starting Edge with start msedge --profile-directory="profile-name" https://example.com/app?customer_id=123

If your application is running in Edge, then you can implement your requirement with simple JavaScript code, just use the window.open() function.

You just need to specify the same strWindowName of its parameters to achieve your desired result.

window.open('https://www.example.com/app?customer_id=123','my-app')
window.open('https://www.example.com/app?customer_id=456','my-app')
