OK here is the soluction I came up with:
Event.addNativePreviewHandler(new Event.NativePreviewHandler() {
@Override
public void onPreviewNativeEvent(NativePreviewEvent
event) {
if (event.getTypeInt() == Event.ONCLICK) {
// do something with the keycode
//
doSomething(event.getNativeEvent().getKeyCode());
if(com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element.is(event.getNativeEvent
().getEventTarget())){
Element targetElement =
(Element) Element.as(event.getNativeEvent
().getEventTarget());
if("a".equalsIgnoreCase(getTagName(targetElement))) {
//String hostURL =
GWT.getHostPageBaseURL();
String href =
DOM.getElementAttribute
((com.google.gwt.user.client.Element) targetElement, "href");
//
check href against hostURL to see if the link is realitive or absolute
then do whatever you want.
//event.cancel();
}
}
}
}
});
__________________________________________
native String getTagName(Element element)
/*-{
return element.tagName;
}-*/;
