Xpages Open new Database in Same Tab/Windows in XPiNC

I am trying to creating uniform application layout for multiple applications.

I cannot seem to get a link on the AppLayout in one database to open a new database in the same tab/window as the first database. My goal is to have aa uniform application layout control for several databases, with a link in the Application Links to each database, so it looks to the user as if they are really in one big application. And I am doing this in XPiNC.

I keep getting opened in a new tab. I have changed the setting for the DB for the default to open in the same window/tab. I have tried 3 different methods to do this, which are below in the code.

I really would love to be able to do this.

I would create an additional database which contains the XPages code from all databases and uses the current Notes databases as data containers only.

This way you have all navigation and all XPages code at one place. And your code is separated from data which is always good.

You would add a configuration document into your additional XPages database which contains the paths to the data container databases. Use those paths in XPages's data sources definitions.
