Bug Description
A good example is the gmail app. If a message contains a url, clicking it loads in the same window rather than the browser app.
This would greatly improve usability if it could be done near term.

Since a recent revision in trunk (not released in daily images yet), links will now be opened in a new tab. However this is not much better, since in webapp mode there is no chrome, hence no way to switch between open tabs.
