Open in specific window
Adds a right-click menu that opens a link in a specified window
Chrome will by default open any link in the same window as it was clicked.
If you have multiple chrome windows open, this extension will add a right-click menu allowing you to choose which window to open the link in.
The menu will automatically show the current window/tab title of the windows you can choose to open the link in. Optionally you can also name your open windows by clicking the "Open in specific window" icon in the upper right-hand corner.

I would give this a 5 star, but as of today, Chrome will no longer allow this addon to run because it doesn't publish data collection/sharing information.
If you are using chrome with multiple monitors (and multiple chrome-windows) this is an absolutely essential productivity-extension. Thanks a lot, it saves me many annoying drags and clicks!
Works.
Please repair the alt+click option! It would be the best extension with it!

Alt-click doesn't work. This extension is useless, there's no way I'm going to constantly right-click.

no option to open links in a specific tab ? :)

Love that I can rename windows, but I then find that feature rather useless because the extension gives my windows an order which doesn't make sense and I cannot rearrange. It would be helpful if I could reorder the list. It would be even more helpful if the window I am hovering over is highlighted as I move my mouse through the list. I cannot get the alt-click target feature to work. Is this feature still functional? I would love to be able to define URLs such as company.com/user/* where any URL matching that search could be directed to open in a specific window when clicked.

It's great that you can rename windows, but chrome already has a feature for this, you should just pull in the named windows and display those. Then this extension would be perfect for me.

Really like the functionality, but I really wish it showed the Name of the window in the list. Instead it shows the current tab title. If you go into chrome settings for the window, click More Tools and Name Window... you can give the window your own name to better organize. I wish it showed that name.

Great extension. However, it's a bit slow from the right click menu. It would be amazing to have a key shortcut combination to "throw" to specific windows. eg) - Alt+1 + url click -> throws to a window designated as 1 - Alt+2 + url click -> throws to a window designated as 2 etc This way I can stay focused on my task but can direct different links to different 'logical content areas' (windows) on my screen

Looks good, can't get the Alt+click to work

Very nice extension! For some reason the Alt-Click does not work for me even after verifying the window name several times (Linux with Chrome 83.0.4103.97). Also if the shortcut would have other options such as the mouse wheel button this would be completely game changer for me.

Excellent idea, exactly what I was looking for. Only 1 issue is that opening a link from a google sheets cell downloads the link rather than opening it in my second window. With that one tiny thing ironed out, this would become an indescribably massive timesaver.

I can't get the alt-click to work on a Mac. When I try to alt + click it downloads the page as a .html file - please help!

Does what it says on the tin. Everyone's desktop environment is different, and like many power users I use more than one monitor, which also means more than one browser window (one per monitor in my case), making this extension very useful if you, like me, have sites pinned to specific windows. Now I can skip the steps of having to open a link and then move the tab to the correct window. Godt arbejde jfsl 👍.

Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for. However I wish the opened tab would automatically be selected on my second display (I have to switch to the new tab)

Great stuff. Does exactly what I wanted it to. Very basic and barebones, which is good - no bloat. A++ Cheers

It's almost perfect ! Can you add a function that can open links in a specific window (or the last window used), BY USING A SHORTCUT instead of the contextual menu ? I would like to use the WHEEL-CLICK to open tabs no in the actual windows but in an other (or in the last "another" window used) very quickly.

Very nice, exactly what I need. Having the Title of the window would be helpful, but I have two different displays so i know which is which. Nice work, and thanks!

Would be nice if the list of windows showed something useful, but instead shows numbers (eg: 1, 33, 38). Too confusing, uninstalling.

. Very useful tool if you very often open more than a single window in Chrome. Just remember: No extension icon, it works from the context (right click) menu. . The DataRat .
