I can confirm that this is really an important feature request. For example
we want to use skype:// and whatsapp:// links within the webview. The problem
is, that loadstart acts async and so even a workaround in the event to prevent
loading the protocol as page is not possible.
A possible and safe solution (from my point of view) could be a new
"beforeloadstart" event which allows to return false and take the url parameter
for custom handling. The url should not be prefixed by http:// like currently
in loadstart. So we can introduce our own custom logic in JS without hacking
the plugin.
What do you think?
