QtWebEngine

Well, that does indeed look like roughly what I had in mind, though it seems to be in a very immature state. Still, I won't work on it myself, since I don't have much interest in web technology. Furthermore, I don't think this will ever yield satisfactory performance.

Anyone ever solve this issue? I wound up using QML to take advantage of the onNavigationRequested event to hijack (and cancel) the navigation, which solves this immediate problem. However, this solution is not working for me as a whole since I cannot figure out how to run javascript in the WebEngineView when it is created in QML, which is my second requirement. :(

Let me just add that if you right-click in a Chrome browser window, the context menu is quite different depending on whether you right-click on a link ("Open Link in New Tab," etc), on an image ("Save Image as..." etc), on open text ("Back", "Reload" etc), even different again on an image that is inside a link. So the browser code itself certainly has all the details of the target under a right-click. With QWebPage that information is available. I hope that it is available from QWebEnginePage and that I have just overlooked it.

Hi, You should rather ask this question on the interest mailing list or the qtwebengine IRC channel. You'll find there Qt's developers/maintainers (this forum is more user oriented)
