   > I have a solution to this in our Angular 10 Capacitor App. This should work in vanilla cordova apps too. Just using `InAppBrowser.open(...)` did not work for us at all, which is no surprise. InAppBrowser cannot handle action links properly, so why open it with InAppBrowser?
   > 
   > But hooking into beforeload and opening the links with window.open did work for us.
   > 
   > ```ts
   >     const browser = this.iab.create(url, '_blank', this.options);
   > 
   >     browser.on('beforeload').subscribe((event) => {
   > 
   >       // Check if event url is an action link
   >       if (event.url.startsWith('tel:') || event.url.startsWith('mailto:')) {
   >         console.log('Found an action link! ' + event.url);
   >         window.open(event.url, '_system');
   >         return;
   >       }
   >       // more workarounds
   >       ...
   >       // Nothing from above applies. Continue loading
   >       console.log('Beforeload released. Continue loading ' + event.url);
   >       browser._loadAfterBeforeload(event.url);
   >     });
   > ```
   > 
   > I hope this helps anyone!

   Thank You!
   Just a note, beforeload parameter in options has it set to 'yes'
