How to prevent a WebView from opening hotlinks?

[Claus Dietrich <claus.dietrich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A Happy New Year to all of you!

I am using a WebView for reading emails in an email client.

When I click on a hotlink inside the email the client opens the hotlink 
in the default browser.

My problem: The WebView also opens the link so that the email disappears.

Is there a way to prevent the WebView from opening hotlinks itself?

Best regards

Claus
