How to process target=_blank links in QtWebEngine?

Daniil Kolesnichenko

I overloaded QWebEnginePage::acceptNavigationRequest method, but seems that it is not called when link's target is "_blank" (i.e. when link is supposed to be opened in new window). How can I handle such links and open them in new app instances?

Look at the createWindow method:

[virtual protected] QWebEngineView *QWebEngineView::createWindow(QWebEnginePage::WebWindowType type)
This function is called from the createWindow() method of the associated QWebEnginePage 
each time the page wants to create a new window of the given type.
For example, when a JavaScript request to open a document in a new window is issued.
Note: If the createWindow() method of the associated page is reimplemented, 
this method is not called, unless explicitly done so in the reimplementation.
See also QWebEnginePage::createWindow().

Note that there is a dedicated WebEngine forum HERE
