You can make use of UIWebViewDelegate method 

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

This will be called before the web view begins loading.

Here argument UIWebViewNavigationType is an enum, which holds the value of the navigation type, check whether the navigationType is UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked. If Yes that means webView is loading page because of any of the link is clicked.

Code will look something like this

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked)
    {
        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"url" message:[[request URL] absoluteString] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
        [alert show];
    }
    return YES;
}

Hope this helps you.
