Volumio | Homescreen Shortcut

Android homescreen shortcut behaviour
Hi team,
I use Volumio and have two devices running at home.
I access them by assigning each a fixed IP and having a link for each on my phone’s homescreen.
These were added by going to xx.xx.xx.xx/playback and using Vivaldi’s ‘Add to home screen’ option (Confirmed same behaviour on Chrome as well).
I wanted to change the IP for a device so deleted one of the shortcuts, and now when I add it it’s saved as a link to open witin browser instead.
So instead of opening a separate window, it now just opens a tab within the browser.
I've also raised this in the Volumio forum but recieved no reply.
Has anything changed in the way shortcuts are added to homescreen in the last 6 months?
Has Volumio stopped acting like a PWA or something?
Is it still possible to add as a standalone window shortcut to my homescreen?Any assistance would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks.

To install Volumio as a PWA, select "Install" after choosing "Add to Home screen" from the Vivaldi menu. Then it'll open the site in a separate window.
If you don't see that option, the website doesn't support PWAs.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
That suggests the behaviour has changed when opening home screen shortcuts at some point in roughly the last 6-12 months - That they now open as a new tab in the browser instead of a stabdalone Vivaldi window?
(I never chose an install option, only ever added it to home screen)
Is there any way to choose to open in a new standalone window?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is not.
