How to redirect to an extension page in chrome?

In my web application i want to put a code that upon that execution it should redirect the current tab to some extension page?

If i do

window.location = 'chrome-extension://idgpnmonknjnojddfkpgkljpfnnfcklj';

it redirects me to 'about://blank' not on that particular extension page.

enter image description here

Can some one help me out how to achieve the same.

First of all you need to put all the resources of your chrome extension to the web_accessible_resources.

You also need to trigger redirect behavior. You can do it with content_scripts and you will need permissions for the specific domain.

Eventually you will have mainfest.json like:

    "permissions": [
        "*://example.com/*"
    ],
    "content_scripts": [{
        "js": ["injection.js"],
        "matches": ["*://www.example.com/*", "*://example.com/*"]
    }],
    "web_accessible_resources" : [
        "index.html",
        "main.js",
        "favicon.ico"
    ],

And injection.js like:

location = 'chrome-extension://'+chrome.runtime.id+'/index.html';
