I think you can achieve this via https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwebengineview.html#createWindow, or https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwebenginepage.html#createWindow. At least look into these to see if you can force same window? Or, you may have to read & digest https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40170180/link-clicked-signal-qwebengineview. Or you may want to look at https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/62740-Issue-with-loading-the-link-clicked-page-in-new-tab, which faces the same situation but resolves by creating its own tab.

Ah, I think https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47893838/make-any-link-even-blank-open-in-same-window-using-qwebengine is exactly what you want. Achieved by overriding QWebEngineView::createWindow() to return self/this as I hoped would work....

@JonB my problem is solve before "return this;" just have to set a page to this(QWebEngineview)

just write this line and problem solve.
