Opening links in the same window when running marimo server

[priggad-uob]

Hi, when I run a marimo server with marimo edit the home page contains several internal links (e.g. to create a new notebook) that open in a new tab. This seems like a long shot but is there any configuration (or any other options for that matter) that would ensure the links open within the same window?

The background to my question is that I am trying to access a remote marimo server via an iframe in a web application and need any navigation to other pages in the marimo app to be within the iframe.

Thanks

We already detect embedded contexts in the frontend (isEmbedded, getIframeCapabilities), so in theory we have the machinery to change link targets to _self when running in an iframe.

One question: if navigation stays in the iframe, how would you get back to the home page? Would your parent app handle that, or would we need a back button?

Thank you very much for the rapid response!

The "Return home" item under the burger menu (top right) on the editor page would let me get back to the home page so no need for the parent app to do anything. I'm new to marimo so correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there is any other navigation to consider (just the home page and the notebook editor page)?

Thanks

Out of interest I've had a look at the front end code and as you suggested it doesn't look like it would be a big change (essentially using the useIframeCapabilities hook and some ternary operations on target in the page components/related components). I could potentially have a go at a PR for this if its decided it is worth adding?
