Without the event working properly there's nothing you can do that I'm aware of
to achieve the same functionality.
To add insult to injury: I don't know if it's specific to angular but
`window.open` with the target `_blank` does nothing when inside a Cordova
inAppBrowser so we had to opt for the target `_system` to get it to open the
url within the Cordova app wrapper. Which is also not the required behaviour
because we need external links to open in the system browser of the mobile
device instead of within the app because then you can't navigate back to where
you where on an IOS device because they don't have a built in back button, and
using the toolbar doesn't allow for a seamless looking experience.
Furthermore, even if the behaviour did work more than a single time without
killing the listener there is an issue with `beforeload` and OIDC
authentication flows. Even if you have a callback function like this:
`
function beforeloadCallBack(params, callback) {
callback(params.url);
}
`
That does nothing more than just listen and redirect It does not work with
OIDC flows.
