What

"Pages: detect browser links and offer opening in the native page view" — a Page link opened in a real browser, or in Superset's own in-app browser pane, had no way back into the native page view (comments, version history).

Why a deep link instead of navigation interception

The ticket's own implementation notes flagged the hard part: "avoid repeated prompts or navigation loops." That's the cost of the approach it half-suggests — hooking will-navigate/will-redirect inside the in-app browser pane, detecting a Page URL mid-flight, and popping a prompt.

There's a much cheaper path already sitting in the codebase:

  • superset://<path> is already a registered protocol; the main process already forwards any superset://<path> straight to the renderer router as /<path> (apps/desktop/src/main/index.ts) — this is exactly how ws open's superset://v2-workspace/<id> works today.
  • /pages/$slug is already a real renderer route (useOpenPage's standalone-navigate target).

So superset://pages/<slug> already works today, with zero new desktop code — I didn't need to touch the desktop app at all.

Fix

Added the one missing piece: a small "Open in Superset" icon button in the published page's header (apps/web/.../PageHeaderBar), linking to superset://pages/<slug>.

  • It shows up identically whether the page is viewed in a real browser (Chrome) or inside Superset's own in-app browser pane, since both render the exact same web page — no separate interception, prompt state, or loop-avoidance logic needed anywhere.
  • Deliberately not added to the desktop app's own native page view (PageDetailView) — PageHeader (@superset/ui/page-comments) is the shared component behind both surfaces, and the button is only meaningful on the web viewer; the desktop native view gets it "for free" via the same header component but never renders it since only the web call site (PageHeaderBar) passes it in trailing.
  • Fails gracefully like any other custom-protocol link (Chrome's native "open app?" prompt, or a no-op if unregistered) — standard for this pattern (Slack, Notion, etc. do the same), no extra fallback UI for v1.

Testing

  • bun run --filter=@superset/web typecheck — pass
  • bun run check:i18n — clean, 0 missing across all 16 locales
  • biome check on touched files — clean

Closes SUPER-2193.

Summary by cubic

Adds an "Open in Superset" button to the published page header so a Page opened in a browser or in Superset's in-app browser pane can jump to the native page view (comments, version history). The button links to superset://pages/<slug>.

Browser pane

  • The pane's navigation guard now recognizes the shipped superset: scheme and the dev instance's superset-<workspace> scheme, cancels the guest navigation, and forwards the link to the existing deep-link handler.
  • Popups and target=_blank opens follow the same path.
  • The button isn't rendered in the desktop native view since you're already there.

Closes SUPER-2193.
