That’s right, the URL dispatching mechanism is not hooked into the browser: clicking on a link in a webpage will always open that link in the browser. Anything else goes through the URL dispatcher, as far as I know (i.e. hyperlinks in apps and in scopes, provided they are not being rendered by a WebView). > > Also, the documentation for url-dispatcher is very convoluted.
