This is particularly useful for always-on-top utility windows or menubar applications that should not be visible in Mission Control.

#### Preventing new windows from popping up

By default, Electron allows additional windows to be opened from a window that was previously opened programmatically.
This is the case, for example, with `a` elements that have the target attribute set to `_blank` or when the user clicks on a link with the middle mouse button.
This behaviour is potentially undesirable in a desktop application, as it enables the user to "break out" of a window.

To prevent additional windows from opening, you can apply the `suppressNewWindows()` method when opening a new window.

```php
Window::open()
->suppressNewWindows();
```
