How do I force Java links to open exclusivly in one instance (workgroup) of edge, while still allowing non-java related links to open in a separate instance of edge

Hi there, our company uses a Java program (Jet) that is being built stage by stage to open in edge instead of Java. As it is being built some asspects (links) of the Java program still open in Java, while the "modernized" links open to Edge. Eventually it will be a soley Edge based program.

I have built a workgroup for Jet and I would like all Jet links to open into this workgroup (instance), while outside source links (such as links that come thru emails) should open into a separate instance of edge. Essentially haveing one instance soley Jet based links and one open separately for anything not Jet related.

I have changed the 'Default workspace for external links' settings in edge. While that accomplishes all external links to opened into the workgroup, it doesn't filter what should and shouldn't go into that workgroup. Thank you

    Hi @Miller, Amber,

    I read your description, and I searched for relevant documents or resources and JavaScript API, but since the Edge workspace function has just been launched, there is no relevant function that can filter some links so far. As you know, now the 'Default workspace for external links' settings can only open all external links into the workgroup. So, my only suggestion is that you can click "dislike" in the workspace to submit feedback. You can also refer to this official document.
