System context menu for URLs
The problem Sometimes I would like to perform actions to URLs on a post/comment (e.g. share, open in a specific browser, etc). On the PWA, long pressing on a link pops the system context menu (seen in #441) which allows us to choose an action. On the Android app, we get a useless pop-up as seen in #1123.
This also applies to "Touch Friendly Links" when enabled.
#1123 mentioned this being "a native iOS thing". Unfortunately, (1) this is on Android, and (2) it's definitely not native behaviour.
Desired solution System context menu on URL long-press.
Alternatives considered Works on the PWA
Hi there!
So, unfortunately system context menus are not supported in Android WebView AFAIK. I don't know why. If someone wants to research, that would be welcome, but when I looked into it that seems to just be the way things are. :(
