IE pop-up reference from Edge browser

I'm having an issue with opening pop-up window which loads in IE compatibility mode due to group policy (legacy web-application which runs on IE). The parent window has to load in Edge which invokes a function and passes some parameters to the pop-up window. Noticed that I'm neither able to access the pop-up window through object reference from window.open() not able to send event/data using postMessage(). And as expected, not able to get parent window handle from pop-up using window.opener(). It all works totally fine if I load the parent window in IE but cannot force that as other functionalities on that screen won't work with IE.

Note: As data from parent to pop-up window can sometimes be quite large, passing it using query string is not an option as it has limitation on max chars.

I got a feeling that as IE and Edge are different browser platforms, the communication is broken. Appreciate any help on how to resolve this issue?
