SwiftUI 2: the way to open view in new window

Question

Lets imagine that I have an App

var storeVM = BookStoreViewModel(bla1: bla1, bla2: bla2, bla3: bla3)

@SceneBuilder var body: some Scene {
    WindowGroup {
              


        

Answer 1

I have played with code from hillmark's answer and got some better results than his code.

Even if this code is still not the answer, this may be useful for someone.

Generlly this code will be useless for you in case you need to work with View based on ViewModel.

But if you need to work with View only - this is a good solution.

@main
struct TestAppApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            MainView()
        }
        .handlesExternalEvents(matching: Set(arrayLiteral: Wnd.mainView.rawValue))
        
        WindowGroup {
            HelperView()
        }
        .handlesExternalEvents(matching: Set(arrayLiteral: Wnd.helperView.rawValue))
    }
}

extension TestAppApp {
    struct MainView: View {
        @Environment(\.openURL) var openURL
        
        var body: some View {
            VStack {
                Button("Open Main View") {
                    Wnd.mainView.open()
                }
                
                Button("Open Other View") {
                    Wnd.helperView.open()
                }
            }
            .padding(150)
        }
    }

    struct HelperView: View {
        var body: some View {
            HStack {
                Text("This is ") + Text("Helper View!").bold()
            }
            .padding(150)
        }
    }
}


enum Wnd: String, CaseIterable {
    case mainView   = "MainView"
    case helperView = "OtherView"
    
    func open(){
        if let url = URL(string: "taotao://\(self.rawValue)") {
            print("opening \(self.rawValue)")
            NSWorkspace.shared.open(url)
        }
    }
}

To work with this code you need to have the following:
