I think I found some kind of solution without changing the bubble
behavior but only the _link feild.
What I did is in the filter function changed the "_link" field to
something like javascript:myFunc(_link).
Here is the code,:
//the filter method
filterMatcher = function(evt) {
//debugger;
........
var origLink = evt.getLink();
if(origLink != null && origLink.indexOf("myFunc") <0){
evt._link = "javascript:myFunc('" + origLink + "')";
}
........
};
//and here is the function itself that was inserted to the link:
var myFunc = function(link) {
//debugger;
alert("myFunc received the link: "+link);
}
let me know what you think of this solution....
Thanks
