Stuck on an issue?

Add query param to force "open in desktop" or "open in web"

See original GitHub issue

Sometimes users want to make links that force the desktop app to open. An example would be to open a websocket connection to a non-localhost domain (which won’t work with https pages in the browser).

Having a query argument that can bypass the launch preference and open the desktop app would allow for sharing such links.

With https://github.com/foxglove/studio/pull/4325 we have changed the default so that links will open in the web app without a prompt. If you still need an override, you can set the openIn url param.

This has actually proven a big issue for prototyping using foxglove in our internal systems to the point where we are considering using webviz to avoid the extra user friction. Our case is simply to launch a visualizer from existing resources that we have already inventoried and this is the only part of the system that does not include low-friction default behavior.
