Android Question Linking two WebViews

I have two WebView in my B4A App. In one WebView (let's name it A) I have my site, the other one (let's name it B) is hidden. Perfect!

Now what I want is to be able to click some link in my site (in WebView A) and open the URL in WebView B and display it, hiding the WebView A. Then I will need to have a button to hide WebView B and display WebView A again.

Is this even possible?
If not, Is there any way to create the same visual effect for the users?

Because I want the ability to keep the first WebView just as the user leaved it before he/she open the second one. But I am thinking in the possibility of using a full size iframe on top of the HTML content of the WebView, then I would just hide the iframe and I am back the the original content.

This is a solution that I don't like, but is the only workaround I can think.

The less you use webview the better.

Look at this library (webviewextras) it might be able to help you.
But i am afraid using 2 WebView's might really slow down your app.
