Hi We have a requirement like to open multiple popup or modal with in the page And the user must be able to edit the data in any of the window and the data should reflect in the main window and may also need to be updated on other popup .

How can this be obtained Is it possible to pass data with {{#link-to “page.edit” id target=“\_blank”}}

The concept of ember as a single page application is that not a good choice try open a pop-up. Why don’t you try modal instead.

Ya Modal we could try but the problem is we need a minimize , maximize feature along with option to open two or more modals side by side in that case opening a new windows seems to help us Can you suggest some other work around

You might be able to use local storage to help with that …
