This should be simple, right? I copied a link such as vstfs:///CodeReview/Request/37229?url=http. . . . .
(code review) and tried to open it in running Visual Studio 2017. The closest I came with is View-Other Windows-Web Browser. Pasted my link, pressed enter, and same dialog "How do you want to open this?" appeared as if I was opening it from File Explorer. I thought, if would open it in the same VS. If I click OK in the dialog, it opens the new instance of VS and opens this review in Team Explorer. Is there a way to open this link in running VS?
Open vstfs url from running instance of Visual Studio
Sorry for any inconvenience.
I am afraid there is no such way we could open vstfs url in existing Visual Studio instance.
There is a user voice about it (Since the old visual studio uservoice forum is deactivated, I could not post the link here. )
