Does Tauri support WebView reuse?

[iamxiaojianzheng]

Can Tauri reuse a webview in another window like Electron does?

@iamxiaojianzheng No, Tauri does not support "reparenting" a live WebView from one window to another (like moving WebContents in Electron).
In Tauri, a WebView is tightly coupled to its Window (or Window reference in v2).

To achieve a similar UX (moving content between windows):

1. State Hydration: Keep your app state in Rust (or a shared backend store). When you open the new window, initialize it with that state.
2. Events: Use emit to synchronize data between the windows.

The underlying OS webview controls (WebView2 on Windows, WebKit on macOS) generally don''t support being detached and reattached to different parent HWNDs/NSWindows easily across the abstraction layer Tauri provides.
