I think the answer is no to this one, but someone may have a clever fix
In my old ArcIMS application, the results of a ID task were pushed to a new html page in a popup, and therefore it could be moved outside of the parent browser - so when there were a lot of results it could be moved to a second monitor without covering the map.
In my API replacement I use a customized floating pane to show this info so is limited to the parent window.
As this pane has extra controls like a flash and highlight feature I can't even generate html from the ID results and push it to a new html page as the references to the objects within the map would not be kept.
So, any clever ideas people?
Cheers

Adrian,
Communication between a parent and a popup window and vice versa to interact with the map is very doable. You can see an example of it in my Street View Widget for WAB.
You may want to consider leveraging this API if you can. May be the same concept Robert posted, I have not checked out his link
Thanks for that - I just tried the API demo, and it went splut - didn't work at all 😞
Adrian,
Yep it did not work for me either. I just uses simple parent child window communication in my widget.
Do you use jquery for this?
Nope this is simple HTML stuff that does not require any library (the window communication part).
OK - I'll research - not something I've done before - many thanks
gosh, so simple "window.opener" - I never knew. Or if I did I'd forgotten
