Solved PyQt get a link's "src" attribute when it is clicked on in a QtWebView

[jspeirs]

In PyQt is there a way to capture the src attribute on an anchor (link) when it is clicked on?

I guess ultimately I'm looking for an event listener for whenever a link is clicked on a webpage that's in a QtWebView.

This answer looks promising but I'm not sure how to implement it in my code:

webview = QtWebKitWidgets.QWebView()  
webview.setWindowTitle(title)
webpage = webview.page()        
webpage.setNetworkAccessManager(self.WebNetworkAccessManager)   
webview.load(QUrl(url))

Use setLinkDelegationPolicy and linkClicked signal in QWebPage

Ah cool, got it. Ended up going with something like this. Thanks

webview = WebBrowserView()  
webview.setWindowTitle(title)
webpage = webview.page()        
webpage.setNetworkAccessManager(self.WebNetworkAccessManager)  
webpage.setLinkDelegationPolicy(QtWebKitWidgets.QWebPage.DelegateExternalLinks)
 
webview.load(QUrl(url))

class WebBrowserView(QtWebKitWidgets.QWebView):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(WebBrowserView, self).__init__()
        self.linkClicked.connect(self.handleLinkClicked)

    def handleLinkClicked(self, url):
        print(url.toString())
