If you are replying to my post in this thread that I did back in July of 2018, I'd suggest you try the flow I posted. At this point I have no idea what is in that flow.

Because i use swipe navigation on a phone client navigation with dashboard links did't work for me.  
After a bit of research i found a way in this article: [https://flows.nodered.org/flow/2f1aaf0635f9bf23207152682323240a](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/2f1aaf0635f9bf23207152682323240a)  
to open external websites on the dashboard without using the dashboard menu links and using standard dashboard buttons instead.

I created a demo flow here: [https://flows.nodered.org/flow/f0a1a4d30712a5e8b37a9287a8cdb3d4](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/f0a1a4d30712a5e8b37a9287a8cdb3d4)

You can use it to inject informations or even URLs as string directly into a dashboard template which is not visible to open links using dashboard buttons within the same or a new window/tab depending on your browser settings.
