Emit new Page objects when new tabs created

[notgne2]

Not sure how this would work, or if possible at all with how puppeteer works. A nice feature would be if the browser emit an event with a new Page when a new tab is opened by clicking on a target="_blank" or through some other means.

I think I'd like to take a whack at this one. Does anyone have any objections / suggestions? @aslushnikov

[aslushnikov]

@michaelfward take a look at Target domain, e.g. Target.targetCreated event https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Target/#event-targetCreated

@aslushnikov thanks! I should have a PR out for this in the next 24 hours

[nwhitmont]

Yes! This would be super useful!

I have a similar question open on Stack Overflow: Puppeteer: How to handle multiple tabs?

@michaelfward Any update?

[ebidel]

@nwhitmont did you see #554?

[michaelfward]

@nwhitmont apologies, I saw @JoelEinbinder 's PR and figured I'd turn to other issues! Does his implementation take care of your use case?

[nwhitmont]

@michaelfward Ah ha! That explains it ;-) Thanks for the update.

one workaround is in evaluate method, get the anchor, and ele.removeAttribute('target'), then you click it
