Hi Shabeer,
Its not directly possible to navigate between windows of the same component. However you can achieve this using an workaround which am suggesting at the latter part of my thread.
Check this fragment from the SAP's standard documentation.
"A window embeds one or more views and has a corresponding window controller. A window controller can contain navigation plugs, methods, and a context. Each view can be embedded in multiple windows.The outbound plug of a window can be connected to any inbound plug of embedded views, and the outbound plug of a view can be connected to any inbound plug of the embedding window. However, navigation between windows of the same component is not possible."
Workaround for achieving the desired navigation:
1.create 2 views and 2 windows and assign first view to first window and second view to second window.
Also create an exit plug for window1 with parameter URL of type string.
Note: when you create windows automatically an interface view will also create with same name.
2.Create application1 for window1(nothing but give interface1 ) in the same way create another application and assign interface view2.
Then write your logic in the onAction method of view1,call the exit plug of window1 then pass the URL of second application.
