Opening Chrome browser on a variable page using vbscript

This is my code for opening Chrome browser on a variable page using vbscript:

Set browobj = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

siteA = "http://...../"
browobj.Run "chrome -url " & siteA

WScript.Sleep OneSecond*60
siteB = "http://..../Gest.do?operation=export&eser=123&ver=456"  
browobj.Run "chrome -url " & siteB  

Set browobj = Nothing

The first step opens the web page ( siteA ) for user authentication:

siteA = "http://...../"
browobj.Run "chrome -url " & siteA

The second step opens a link ( siteB ) where you pass variables for downloading an excel file :

WScript.Sleep OneSecond*60
siteB = "http://..../Gest.do?operation=export&eser=123&ver=456"  
browobj.Run "chrome -url " & siteB

The second link ( siteB ) with the variables is opened in a new Chrome tab and the download is stopped.

Instead if the second link ( siteB ) opens in the same tab of the siteA the download is started. Tried manually.

I need reuse the same tab on is opening the siteA.

How to do opening the second link ( siteB ) opens in the same tab of the siteA ?

Please can you help me ?

Edit #01

browobj.Run start & siteB

Since chrome is available as a command:

chrome /new-tab somesite.com

However if chrome isnt available as a command but IS the default browser you can use:

start "" "https://somesite.com"

This should make it open in a new tab on the active window.

If you can't guarantee Chrome is the default browser. You can find the path to the chrome.exe and use something like:

"<Path of chrome here>" /new-tab "https://somesite.com"
