Hi.
Is there a way to generate a new webpage from the HTML sent in a message when a button is clicked on the dashboard and displayed in the browser?
Button click -\> new page/tab in browser with custom HTML code.
I know I can generate a PDF from HTML, but it needs to be saved to disk and then opened.
Thanks for any help.

Sort of. The dashboard button could trigger a node-red flow that generates content via a template node which sends to a ui\_template node which updates dashboard.

Well, you haven't shared what chart you are using or anything about how you are updating it. I don't use Dashboard much these days but my recollection with the chart node was that it doesn't update unless you send it data.
