Description Caio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho 2011-08-09 07:05:44 PDT 
In Qt WK1 API, the QWebPage class had a virtual method that could be reimplemented to intercept navigation requests

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qwebpage.html#acceptNavigationRequest

also as a convenience (since could be implemented with the previous method) we had

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qwebpage.html#linkDelegationPolicy-prop

These mechanisms were useful for:

- Blocking navigation from users;
- Implementing different schemes; both describe in See also https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49370#c4
- Implementing "Open In New Tab" functionality. See Rekonq implementation of this feature https://gitorious.org/rekonq/mainline/commit/c2cf251dfe808e1a4e336dbf1cddc645d63c2e2f

Closing this bug since functionality is already implemented.

Implemented in bug 65920, then merged in WebView after Desktop/Mobile views unification.
