While using a QML webview in an application, the programmer should be able to control the navigation by intercepting clicks on the links. Potential uses cases : * force the user to navigate a certain site/domain Example : The user is allowed to navigate in the job.mycompany.com domain, if he clicks on a link that's external to the job domain, we could show a popup with appropriate message * allow to launch the platform browser when the user click on a link A signal similar to Text Element "onLinkActivated" should be available. [From https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-21180]
I think this is covered by the signal navigationRequested. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72976 and further commits improving QWebNavigationRequest class (which contains information about the request).
