I wouldn't waste my time to post here if I weren't serious.

The above html code is just an example.

See, the webpages being loaded to Webview are determined by the user, so I have no control over what is loaded. However, after a link is clicked, the next steps my app will take are determined by whether the link is a regular link or a popup.

Sorry, my problem might be very simple, but I'm not a professional programmer so I need help here. Right now when I click a link, whether it's a regular link or a popup, it just opens in the same webview browser, so I can't tell, through code, whether it is supposed to be a popup or not.

I am not a Webview expert but have you checked if OverrideURL won't return any usable value ?

I've looked at the properties and events for Webview but could not find anything regarding popups. I've also looked at Webviewextender but nothing there either. In the old VB6, the Webbrowser object used to have an event called "OnNewWindow" which is what I'm trying to look for in B4A.

Have a read of this post - http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/webviewextras.12453/page-7#post-231721
HitTestResult might allow you to get the target attribute.
You'll find the AJWebkit library somewhere in that thread.
