Hello

I hope you can help me with my doubt.

I want the external links within WebViewer to click on them, open them in another external browser, for example Chrome, Firefox or the one that the user has by default. And the internal links of the site added to WevViewer open within my application.

How can I do that? Thank you very much.  
Billy

Thank you Nick but when I put it inside “When Screen1 .Initialize”, when I open app, it open Chrome or default browser.
