Hi Tobi, thanks for reply

I am at your side about some (mad) practices, but...

I think Object.Call is suitable for calling or executing code inside or 
outside of the current class, but not the other way round, IIUC. How 
could I execute Object.Call from inside a webview? None of the events 
webview exposes are suitable for doing this IMO, since the webview.url 
is a property, not a method.

I will experiment, thanks for the tip!
