Is there a way to prevent IE opening a new window on top of the pub when a link to a "new window" is clicked upon?
Either by blocking it or by showing it in the existing browser object window?
In other word: is it possible to retrict all activity to the original browser object window?

What Action are you using to navigate to the URL? The action: Browser >>> Navigate to ---- will normally keep the website viewing in the Opus Browser.

However you may know that when using Firefox external browser, some website URLs may force launch of a new window, new tab, etc.

I am not talking about external browsers or links that I set up myself. When I open a website on the internet using a browser object in Opus, it shows me the website inside the browserobject window. Such a website may offer links to other sites/pages defined to open in a new windows. Browserobject does not prevent that from happenig. As a result you may have several IE-windows in front of the opus window. Even worst, after you click on the opus window, the IE-windows disappear into the background. No way to retrieve them or kill them. I would like to know how to setup browserobject forcing all new windows to open in the current browserobject window or preventing them from opening at all. Please comment, Regards, Coen van der Gugten.

It's not something that you can do from within Opus.
