I know that the patch is similar to how we do things in WebKit2’s C SPI, but in WebKit1, could we do something more similar to how context menus are handled, with a delegate? Would that be significantly harder to implement or for clients to adopt?

For context menus, there is -webView:contextMenuItemsForElement:defaultMenuItems: in WebUIDelegate. It seems like something similar could work here (in WebUIDelegatePrivate), and will not require clients to subclass WebView if they want to implement this.

I think that sounds very reasonable! Honestly, I was torn between the two spots since I took a look at the context menu stuff as well. Will move!

Underscore should be at the start of the method name, _webView:

I don't think you need the UIDelegateForwarder here - you can just call the method directly since you check respondsToSelector already.
