Trello links open in new app window Mac and windows

[Micael Bolognini]

I get my tasks over mail, messages etc. when I click them and have the Trello window open , the link opens another window. next link open another window ... in the end of the day I have like 20 windows.

I would like to know how I can get the app to open the links in the already open window.

Hi, Micael!

To better understand your situation, could you please clarify a few details about your workflow?

1. Are you using the Trello desktop app, the mobile app, or accessing Trello through a web browser?
2. When you mention that you receive tasks via mail or messages, are these Trello card links that you're clicking on, or are you opening Trello first and then clicking on links within the cards?
3. If you're using a web browser, could you let me know which one you're using (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.)?

Once I have a clearer picture of your setup, I can provide more tailored suggestions. However, there is a workaround that might work for you which I'm using in Trello as well as other applications. When you open a new link, if you hold alt on Windows or Command on Mac, apps will sometimes interpret this as a request to open the link on a new tab instead of a new window.


Hopefully that'll work, just let me know!
