When use CefSharp and website as wallpaper, click link cannot call the browser but use just the CefSharp.

[char-46]

The situation is as described in the title.

Exactly behavior is calling system browser like Edge or Chrome. When use Webview2, things are going to expected.

This is intentional, there are some differences in configuration you can read here: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/wiki/Web-Player#cef-chromium-embedded-framework

What is your use case for opening links from wallpaper in system browser?

[char-46]

use case like these

<a href="https://github.com"><h1>a tag with href attribute</h1></a>
<a href="https://github.com" target="_blank"><h1>a tag with href attribute and target="_blank"</h1></a>
<button onclick="javascript:window.open('https:\/\/github.com')"><h1>javascript:window.open</h1></button>
<button onclick="javascript:window.open('https:\/\/github.com', '_blank')"><h1>javascript:window.open target='_blank'</h1></button>

When use CefSharp, they all just let the screen be a browser but not use system browser to open link.

Attribution hyperlink can be added in wallpaper metadata:

the usage scenarios is I create a toolbox html like the browser new tab, than can use like wallpaper change each hour or just click a button to open the tool page. I mean, more interactive in wallpaper but not just show system info on the screen.

The recommended way to do that is by implementing Lively Properties: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/wiki/Web-Guide-IV-:-Interaction#lively-properties

[char-46]

Not only set properties for wallpaper, but I also mean more browser apps. Like I using iTab(it developed to browser new tab) as wallpaper (Because it easily to implement much different things like clock, calendar, the wallpaper change each hour, even calculator and so far. Sync my cloud Settings to different browsers for work, home, school, etc.), when I use Edge Webview2 and I click a link on the page, the Edge will be called and open URL which link reference.

I am not sure I fully understand the use case 😅

For WebView2 implementation it is set to open in default browser when <a href="..." target="_blank"> and WebView2 itself if target is not _blank.. is this the behavior you want?

I think this is exactly the behavior I was expecting.
