Open links of iframe in a new tab of the parent page

I have a website which contains an iframe to load another website. When a user is clicking a link in the iframe, the navigation is happening inside the iframe which is fine. However, when a user opens a link in a new tab (e.g. with the mouse wheel) the direct link is opened and the parent site is gone. The problem is that I need the new tab to open in the parent otherwise the page will fail over time (the parent page is for example handling authentication). Is there a possibility to achieve this? I have full control over both websites.

Is there a way to avoid refreshes of a page load in a web application?

I have a web application using Primefaces 8.0 and JSF 2.2 and the way I have users navigate to instances of the application is by an HTML page with links like the following:
Always opens in the same window
This makes sure that if the user clicks the link a second time, it simply navigates to the tab they already have open. But the browser(chromium in this case) also forces a refresh of the tab every time this link is clicked! Is there any way to avoid this forced refresh?

How do you set a Link so that it opens in a new tab or window in Google App Maker?

In my Google App Maker application, whenever a user clicks on a Link, it causes the href link to open in the same window as the application. This causes a problem because the user has to click back in order to access the application again. Is there any way to set the link such that when a user clicks on it (without right click > open new tab), the page opens in a new tab/window? Thanks.
Try
window.open('www.your_link.com','_blank');
In the app maker property editor for the link widget set the target property to _blank

Open chrome extension in a new tab

I have implemented a chrome extension. Was wondering if the popup.html can be opened in a new tab? Every single click on the page, and the popup disappears :( .. Was wondering if I can stick it to the page or is there a way to open the extension in a new page?
Yes, a popup page is just a normal extension page, you can do the following to open a new popup tab from the background page. I use that every time when the user first installs the extension, I open the about page, you can do the same for the popup page.
chrome.tabs.create({url: 'popup.html'})
For one of my extensions, My Hangouts, I have a small "open as tab" button within the popup, I bind the click event for that link to execute this:
chrome.tabs.create({url: chrome.extension.getURL('popup.html#window')});
The reason why I passed the hash is because I wanted to add more content when the user opens it in a popup because there is more real estate to play with.
Within the popup, I use normal JavaScript to differentiate whether I opened the tab in the new tab page or in a normal page like the following:
if (window.location.hash == '#window') {
this.displayAsTab = true;
}
You can do tricks like this to make your extensions user experience better.
here is the same issue: Chrome Extension: onclick extension icon, open popup.html in new tab
use:
chrome.tabs.create({'url': chrome.extension.getURL('popup.html')}, function(tab) {
// Tab opened.
});
property "pinned" to stick the tab.

Chromium pass message to popup extension even if it is not active

I am developing a chrome extension. I am able to pass a message from background page to popup extension when a context menu is clicked if i open the popup page with "Inspect pop-up" selection. Because it stays open in this way.
But if I click the context menu when the popup page is not opened, no message received by it.
Do you have any suggestions to open popup automatically, make it stay open or send message to it when even if it is not active.
There is no way to pragmatically open a popup window. Popup windows are only active when the popup is open which is why you cant send messages to it when it is closed.
You could either queue messages in the background page and have them retrieved the next time the popup window is opened. Or depending on the functionality you might look into using HTML5 desktop notifications instead.
Instead of sending stuff to the popup, the popup should request what it needs when it is opened.
Because the popup is just an HTML page, it doesn't exist until it has been opened.
Basically, like abraham mentioned, you would store any information in the background, using localStorage or chrome.storage. When the popup opens, it should then use the chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage() function to get a reference to the background, which can provide access to the stored information.
If you are using localStorage or chrome.storage, you may be able to access it directly, without using the background, as storage is shared across the whole extension.
