KNIME AP 5.8.2 Modern UI — Can we replace the node configuration dialog with an external Chromium...

Hello everyone,

We are developing a custom node on KNIME Analytics Platform 5.8.2 with Modern UI.

Requirement:

*

When the user clicks the node’s “Configuration” / Configure button,

*

we want to prevent the default configuration dialog from opening,

*

and instead open an external URL on a different domain in a separate Chromium-based window (or external browser window).

Questions:

1.

Is there any supported way to intercept the Configure action and replace the default dialog with a custom action?

1.

If not, what is the recommended UX pattern in Modern UI to guide users to an external portal/config page?

(For example: a minimal node dialog that shows a button “Open external configuration portal”.)

We appreciate any pointers (extension points, APIs, sample code, or KNIME team guidance).

Thanks!
