Ok, so read that, its referring to the target attribute but it looks like you can check stil check for a url parameter on an NSURLRequest [1].
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSURLProtocol_Class/Reference/Reference.html So what I'm proposing is this: cordovajs walks the dom finding all anchors with a target attribute and adds something like this to the href: <a href=http://somwhere.com&_cordova-target=blank target=blank>asdf<.a> Then, when clicked, touched, whatever, you capture if the URL parameter named _cordova-target exists. If it does, spawn browser. Dynamic links would be missed. I think thats an ok/fair quirk. If wanted to be aggressive we *could* watch for dom mutation events and solve that too tho I suspect it would not help performance!
