From a UWP app, can I open a link in Edge without opening a new tab?

I have a UWP app that is launching links in Edge but every time I launch a url, it creates a new tab in the edge browser.

My question is: Is it possible from a UWP app to launch Edge and open a link in a tab that is already open in the Edge browser?

Is there a way that I can name the tab when I open the first web link and then later reference that tab ID or name?

Thanks!

It not easy to tell IE what to do in an UWP app. Actually you can create a desktop application to launch IE and you can control the IE how to open the URL.

How to active the desktop application from UWP APP you can refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.applicationmodel.fulltrustprocesslauncher

Microsoft Edge does not support Tab manual management. When launch it with link, it will create new tab to display. But Internet Explorer support that open link in same tap. You could refer the follow setting.

The Tab's name comes from page Title automatically . You could not name the tab manually.

For flexible requirement, you could use WebView Control. For more please refer Webview official document.
