Is there a way, via Javascript or other code, to open a url in a private/incognito window from an HTML page? Ideally cross-browser or at the very least IE and Firefox.
The anticipated behaviour would be along the lines of
<a href="http://domain.com" target="_private">Link</a> The simplified reason for this is because admins want to be able to log in as users to preview various pages, but without logging themselves out. Whilst there are various other ways around this issue, this would be the simplest (assuming it is possible).

You can also use a keyboard shortcut to open an Incognito window: Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS: Press Ctrl + Shift + n. Mac: Press ⌘ + Shift + n.
The easiest way to open an Incognito window is with the keyboard shortcut combination Ctrl-Shift-N (Windows) or Command-Shift-N (macOS).
In Incognito, none of your browsing history, cookies and site data, or information entered in forms are saved on your device. This means your activity doesn't show up in your Chrome browser history, so people who also use your device won't see your activity.
Incognito mode doesn't prevent web tracking Your incognito history can still be seen by your ISP, and the websites you visit can still track you. Incognito mode does not mean you're browsing anonymously.
We can't force the visitor to view the page in an incognito/private window. Browsers provide no API that would make that possible outside of an extension.
