We have a code review report which shows open code reviews; who raised it, what the state is and whether it has comments. Each row in the report has a link similar to the one below

vstfs:///CodeReview/Request/130812?url=https://tfs.ourdomain.com/DefaultCollection/

When you click the link to open a code review request in Visual Studio, the below prompt appears.

When you click "Open..." a new instance of VS is loaded every time. Is there a way to force the OS to always use the existing instance of VS, if it's already running?

Unfortunately, it seems like the answer is negative.

I reproduce here the Stack Overflow answer for the question which attacked the problem from another angle: Open vstfs url from running instance of Visual Studio.

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. )

If it is important to you, you can open a new ticket here:

You can vote and add your comments for this feedback. When there are enough communities vote and add comments for this feedback, the product team member will take this feedback seriously.

The link in the answer has changed and is currently Visual Studio - Request a feature (requires sign-in).
