When I open a specific calendar event in Outlook Web App by clicking on its "Open in Separate Window" button, the calendar event opens in a popup with its URL in the address bar. In this case: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/#viewmodel=_d.$l6&wid=18&ispopout=1

enter image description here

But when I try to open this link from a blank browser tab, it will hang on the OWA loading screen.

How can I alter or reverse engineer this link to open the specific calendar event from any tab?

  • Are you authenticated on the blank browser tab? i.e. is an office365 session active in the browser? – aa333 Jun 19 '14 at 21:54
  • Yes, I am authenticated with an active Office 365 session – Lance Hardwood Jun 19 '14 at 22:02
  • If you're authenticated, ideally you should not need to do any reverse engineering, it should just work by pasting the link in any number of tabs if the session is active. Does the URL change when you paste it in a new tab? If it does, can you put both URLs in the question? – aa333 Jun 19 '14 at 22:23
  • No, it stays exactly the same – Lance Hardwood Jun 20 '14 at 19:35
  • Did you find an answer to this? I am looking for the same thing – Eric May 31 '16 at 23:16

The popup is managed within OWA JavaScript of the parent window, referenced by the wid=18 and not intended to be exposed. Therefore the window can not stand by itself. You can see this also if you refresh the parent window (or logoff/logon), and then try to use this pop-out window, it will fail because the link is broken to the parent.
