I think you just need to override that method (OnLinkClicked) in the
class you use to subclass the HtmlWindow widget. Something like this:
<code>
class MyCustomDlg(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title, icon, pos):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, title,
size=(400,400))
x,y = pos
self.SetPosition((x+30, y+30))
self.SetIcon(icon)
html = wxHTML(self)
class wxHTML(wx.html.HtmlWindow):
def OnLinkClicked(self, link):
# do something here
pass
</code>
However, for wxPython questions, it's best to post to the wxPython
user's group. They are very knowledgeable there.

Hope that helps.
