Chrome extension authorize in new tab -

i'm trying implement user authorization chrome extension.

i want open new tab, log in there , receive access token , next extension tab update options page (show user logged). use chrome.identity.launchwebauthflow opens new window instead of tab i'd to. want achieve login similar in pocket extension.

do have suggestions?

then need forgo using chrome.identity api. there no such option.

instead, you'll have magic content scripts extract resulting token, , might have problems regards callback url - can no longer use 1 provided identity api.
