I have an application that I wrote for MS Windows.  One of the screens is a browser window in which I display HTML pages and
intercept clicks on links so that I can alter, if wanted the action.  I do this by making calls to library routines which Microsoft
provides since it bundles Internet Explorer with its OS.

I would like to move the application to a Mac running OsX.  Is there a library to which I can make such calls.  I have moved the
application to X11 (without the browser calls) and so would be happy to insist users install X11 on their Macs.

I don't get it ... you intercept clicks on <a>nchor tags and
redirect them to somewhere other than intended/written in the html?

Are you using the browser as a thin gui to an application? Maybe
there's another way to achieve what you are looking for. Maybe you
can give a more concrete example of what it is that it is doing ...

Though I have nothing close to a definitive answer, I'd imagine this
would be quite difficult to impossible achieve/do seeing as how this
type of 'functionality' could be a potential security hole, no?
