Link handling

Description

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      routes: {
        "/": (_) => new WebviewScaffold(
          url: "http://wckethman.com/htree/my-app/www/index.html",
          withJavascript: true,
        )
      },
    );
  }

Research direction

Investigate how to intercept URL loading in the native WebView implementations. On Android, override shouldOverrideUrlLoading in WebViewClient to handle custom schemes like tel:. On iOS, use WKNavigationDelegate's decidePolicyForNavigationAction. Check the comments in issue #43 for any proposed solutions or workarounds. The relevant files are likely in the android and ios directories of the plugin.
