How to make QML WebView Element use Qt::openUrlExternally for all 'new windows'?

[ayman]

Hello,
Please anyone know how to make QML WebView Element use Qt::openUrlExternally(url) instead of newWindowComponent (when clicking on link that try to open a newWindowComponent)?

I don't think you can. You will need to create a custom "webview" qml component for that.

One approach is to use the "QWebPage::acceptNavigationRequest":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qwebpage.html#acceptNavigationRequest to stop the "webview" from processing the request and then open the Url using the DesktopServices
