Call Microsoft Edge inside Hololens app?

Question

Does anyone know is it possible to call or embed Microsoft Edge Window in your Hololens app? For example, I have my Spatial mesh rendered and I'm detecting the flat surfaces. I'd like to be able to call new Edge Window with predefined url whenever I tap on a flat surface. Is there any way to invoke Edge Window this way inside the app?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using Unity, you might be able to use Application.OpenUrl("www.google.nl"); in order to open the standard browser.

See: Unity reference OpenURL

I am not sure if this will close your application first before opening the browser, but i hope this works for you.

If it doesnt, maybe you can try starting a new process by using: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("PathToProgram.exe");

See: MSDN Reference

You cant open Edge inside your app, you can shut down your app and let the system start edge with a given URL.

If you need to get an image from a website you can use the unity www system:
