The following snippet takes over links in a webview of a remote URL, causing them to do nothing but Ti.App.fireEvent('linkClicked', { href: 'http://example.com' }). This lets you load in web pages, and control what should happen when a link is clicked (li
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor: '#fff' });
var web = Ti.UI.createWebView({
url: 'http://www.appcelerator.com/'
});
var linkJS = 'document.titaniumLinkQueue = [];'
+ '(function(){'
+ 'var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");'
+ 'for(var i = 0, l = links.length; i < l; i++) {'
+ 'var h = links[i].attributes["href"];'
+ 'h.value = "javascript:document.titaniumLinkQueue.push(\'" + h.value + "\');"'
+ '}'
+ '})();';
web.addEventListener('load', function() {
web.evalJS(linkJS);
// and 3 times a second, check to see if any links have been clicked
setInterval(pollClickedLinks, 333);
});
function pollClickedLinks() {
var link = web.evalJS('document.titaniumLinkQueue && document.titaniumLinkQueue.pop();');
if (link) {
Ti.App.fireEvent('linkClicked', { href: link });
}
}
Ti.App.addEventListener('linkClicked', function(evt) {
alert('You clicked: ' + evt.href);
});
win.add(web);
win.open();

If the windows is not opened with the "url" property, clear the setInterval when closing the window, otherwise it will go for ever

    web.addEventListener('load', function() {
        web.evalJS(linkJS);
        // and 3 times a second, check to see if any links have been clicked
        var x = setInterval(pollClickedLinks, 333);
        win.addEventListener('close', function(){
            clearInterval(x);
        });
    });

Sorry to say that does not work on android 2.3.3. nor 4.0.3. link is undefined.
