This might be a duh question - but I've been diving through the documentation and forums, and I'm a little stuck.

I'm using a widget controller buttons to try and re-route users back to a main map:

But there doesn't seem to be a straightforward setting to just automatically navigate back to the other page - if you click on the widget button, it always opens and extra window prompt with a button:

Does anyone know if a setting where the user could just click on the button (in this case, the house) and return to the previous page? Long story short, I don't want it to be a button that also opens to a window prompt with another button. Just click the house icon and return to the original page without an extra click.

Thank you!

That is how Buttons in a Widget Controller work. They pop out a panel which contains the Button. It's not a good design. It a common complaint, @Jianxia.  Here's an Idea to change it.

It is possible to replicate the look of a Widget Controller Button and stick it next to your Widget Controller or replace a Widget Controller with Button Widgets to simulate your desired functionality. Here is a Blog about how you can do that.
