Linking to a web page outside of the project opens in same webview

This is a problem as there are no browser controls.

Ideal solution would be to instruct the webview to open non-local links or whatever in Safari... don't know how to do this yet.

Probably would want to just check if the URL is external, then either use UIApplication.openURL or SFSafariViewController. Would you accept a PR that added a configurable way to use one of these two approaches?

@jstart absolutely!

Any news on this issue? Do external links, not on the defined domain, open in Safari yet?

hey @PatrickBK, not yet! i don't have time to add it as my day job isn't currently iOS stuff.

If somebody would like to patch this, please feel free :grin: ( @jstart ? )
