Is it possible to open link in the default browser from QtWebView(Qml)?

Hello, I want to open link in the browser from QtWebView(Qml). This approach was unsuccessful for me. When I click on link I get error to console:

[9888:9376:1203/170259.011:ERROR:frame_sink_provider_impl.cc(34)] No RenderWidgetHost exists with id 6 in process 3

Can you show the code on how you are doing it ? It helps to check.

The qml code:

    WebView {
        id: webView
        url: homeViewUrl

        width: parent.width
        height: parent.height
    }

The html code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" />
  </head>
  <body oncontextmenu="return false">
    <a href="https://www.google.com/"  
      onclick="window.open('https://www.google.com/', 
                         'newwindow', 
                         'width=300,height=250'); 
              return false;"
    >Link</a>
  </body>
</html>

Which platform are you trying ? Can you try with simple example like the following ?

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Hello World")
    WebView {
           id: webView
           url: "http://www.google.com"
           width: parent.width
           height: parent.height
    }
}

Windows. But the goal is to run also on Android and iOS. Yes that example is working. The WebView loads the page. The problem is that I want to open link in the default browser and it's not working. (The Link is in the loaded .html in the WebView.)

For example if I open this file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" />
  </head>
  <body oncontextmenu="return false">
    <a href="https://www.google.com/"  
      onclick="window.open('https://www.google.com/', 
                         'newwindow', 
                         'width=300,height=250'); 
              return false;"
    >Link</a>
  </body>
</html>

with my browser and press the link - the other browser window opens(not tab). I want the same functionality, but using qml WebView(when I press link it should open new default browser window).
