How to customize the behaviour when user clicks on an in-pdf link?

Product: Webviewer - React

Product Version: 8.1.0

Please give a brief summary of your issue:
Customise the behaviour when user clicks on a link in a pdf

Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:
We have built a hosted solution of Webviewer in React and are using this hosted solution for both, our web and our mobile applications(React Native). On the React Native end, we are using a Webview to access the hosted solution. The issue we are facing is that when a user clicks on a link inside the pdf, it opens the link inside the Webview itself which is something that we do not desire. We would like for it to open in a separate browser window outside the app.

Is there a way to detect the link press event and add a custom event trigger so that we can run our custom link press logic?

Hello there.

Here is an example of customizing the behavior of links on a PDF: How to prevent links from being opened on a PDF in WebViewer?

Let me know how that works for you and if you have any further questions.
