Hi, thank you for the swift response!
That's true, haha!
Currently, we are looking to incorporate an RDP solution (Mechdyne TGX)
into the VM portal for our users. The current "workaround" is pasting the
VM's IP address in the description or comment section and having the
end-user run TGX separately.

Cool! We're actually in the process of overhauling consoles for VM Portal.
We currently have Windows RDP in the Admin Portal, and we are actively
working on it for VM Portal. Here are some screens from the design:

[Kudos to our awesome designer, Laura Wright]
We also have SPICE (thick client) fully implemented in both portals, thick
client VNC in both portals, novnc (web-based) in Admin, and novnc coming
very soon in VM Portal (4.3.2 at the latest, but I hope 4.3.1) as part of
the overhaul.
Is Mechdyne TGX much different than Windows RDP, SPICE, and VNC? If so,
what is the use case for using that over Windows RDP / SPICE / VNC?
Also, would you mind please reviewing the designs we have so far? I'm
interested in others' opinions, especially someone who has already been
thinking about this.

And I would certainly love for you to help test it out as we're nearing
completion, at the least. If you want to code, we would love to have you :)

My proposed idea would be (Correct me if I'm wrong):
1) Create a new Button or option from "Console" labelled something like
"Console with TGX"
2) Upon hitting this button, make a REST API call to obtain the VM's IPv4
address.
3) Launch Mechdyne TGX, slotting in the IPv4 address obtained
There's more than one way to achieve this, and I guess I'm looking for any
suggestions or a place to start. I understand that this use case is not a
universal improvement for a lot of oVirt users (Hence why I thought it
would be a more personal modification!), but I can see a use for allowing
other RDP solutions as well.
