Enable “Show Page” to Open Pages in a New Tab (with URL Hidden)

Currently, the “Show Page” activity in Mendix can only open a page in the same browser tab.If we want to open a page in a new tab, we must use a LinkButton or JavaScript with a direct URL like /p/PageName, which exposes the page URL to the user.

This approach is problematic in the following cases:

• We want to keep URLs private or prevent users from bookmarking/sharing direct access URLs.

• We want to securely open protected pages without exposing internal structure.

• We want to avoid URL-based navigation for sensitive screens.

Proposed solution:Add an option to the “Show Page” activity (and possibly Microflow actions and buttons) to:

• Open the page in a new browser tab

• Without exposing the page URL in the browser’s address bar (if possible)

• Optionally with security context preserved (e.g., session/token)

This would greatly enhance the UX and allow developers to implement secure and flexible navigation flows without workarounds involving JavaScript or DeepLink modules.

Thank you for considering this improvement!
