@SakthiVickraman Is this feature only applicable for the work objects in the current application. I mean, can we use the same approach to open work objects from another application in a new tab ? ---

@EngincanY Yes, this feature is only applicable for Work Objects in current applications. You would not be able to open Work Objects of different application. Thanks for raising this question. ---

@Chaitanya_Samanthula No, It is supported only for “Open work by handle” and “Open Work Item”. There is no option to open the assignment directly in a new tab. ---

@PrakashP6773 I just wrote a doc that explains how to configure a button to open an assignment in a new browser tab - see [https://collaborate.pega.com/discussion/how-open-assignment-new-browser-tab-using-theme-cosmos](https://collaborate.pega.com/discussion/how-open-assignment-new-browser-tab-using-theme-cosmos) - this will not show the Preview button since this assignment does not have any preview. ---

@SakthiVickraman - Is it possible to open a Work Object in new Window or TAB with “onClick” from a Modal Dailog window? At the moment onClick of the button from a modal dialog is closing my current Modal Dialog window and the case and opening the Work Object(onClick) on the main Portal. ---

@RichardMarsot Can we use this to open a workobject from external applications using URL mapping? ---

@Nizam sure it is possible - instead of showing a button - display a link and use open URL in a new tab
