Brief Summary
As a user, I'd like to be able to specify which URLs can be loaded in a web app window, so that other URLs that don't match my filter will automatically be opened up in a new Orion window.

Details:
Ideally, in the "Add This Site as a Web App" dialog, a text field will be included that allows users to write a comma-separated list of domain names as to what URLs are allowed to open in that window, like the following:

mysite.com,feedback.mysite.com,auth.mysite.com

This comma-separated list can contain also contain regular expressions or glob expressions (whichever the team prefers here):

*.mysite.com,[0-9]+.apples.mystore.com,

When a link is clicked, it will check the URL if it matches the filter. If it does, it will open in place as normal. Otherwise, it will open in a new window automatically.

        @Vlad this should not be marked as done. I'm asking for an advanced configuration UI, which orion does not have.

          eirk The ask is not clear, try to be detailed.

              gcqd This seems to be related to more than web apps, and maybe has implications to profiles and sessions in the future. We'd still need a detailed ask.

                    I am thinking that a global website setting "Open in Profile" showsn here after SSL cert check, with a drop down to select options:
                    Current (default)
                    Profile 1
                    Profile 2
                    ..

                    Would work for everyone interested?

                    This would work on per subdomain basis, as all website settings do.

                      i think that is a good solution

                        It would be awsome if windows worked as workspaces as they do in browsers such as Arc, Vivaldi, or sigmaOS, with the possibility to create custom filters that open links directly in one of the worspaces:

                        example: I have a #1 personal worskpace, #2 work worskpace, #3 entertainment workspace... I wan't to create a filter in which all urls that either contain "youtube" or end with "youtube.com" open in the entertainment worspace, whereas all those containing "notion" open in work and so on...

                        To go even further, the possibility to associate each worspace with a different profile with its own extensions, logged accounts and whatnot would be optimal.

                            Looks good to me!

                                Tinholoco Please comment on the suggestion I posted above your post.

                                It is not clear what you call a workspace. In Orion context Workspace is a collection of open windows and you can even save/restore this as a snapshot.

                                    Vlad I mean the windows system is almost like a workspace in Opera, SigmaOS or Arc but misses some features like the possibility to have a specific profile for every saved window and to open specific links/domains in one of them.

                                        Vlad This is a lot like how Firefox containers work. I think theirs might be based on regex though. The benefit of using regex instead of just subdomains is in cases where an app will use a generic subdomain but put the "profile" of the saas app in the domain i.e. https://app.saas.company/company1 or even as a query string https://app.saas.company?profile=company1

                                        I'd also like to push to have this be thought about with the upcoming sessions (i believe that is what they are being called) Allowing closer comparison of running Firefox Containers inside a Profile.

                                            Scenario: I want to always be logged into my google account on mail.google.com but not on youtube.com. Currently, this means that I have to manually switch profiles before opening gmail and then switch back to my default profile when I'm done. It would be cool if I could instead choose a profile in the website settings for mail.google.com and gmail is then always opened in this profile (or even just in the context of this profile).
