How to cancel request and open it in an existing tab?

[Demián Andrés Rodriguez]

I've been trying to accomplish this using chrome.webRequest API but I couldn't.

For whatever reason my extension stays in an infinite loop opening tabs or redirecting the same tab over and over again.

Is there a way to detect if a request comes from an external program? 

For example, I want to reuse an existing application tab when opening a new link from outside the browser, like Skype...

If I have an open tab with url "test.com/hello" and user clicks a link like "test.com/world", I want to redirect the existing tab to that url.

Any clues on how to do it correctly?

Thanks.

chromium-extension is the right group for this question, or StackOverflow.
