You want to set a policyDelegate for your view. See the docs for WebPolicyDelegate. The specific method you want to implement is:

- (void)webView:(WebView *)webView decidePolicyForNavigationAction:(NSDictionary *)actionInformation 
                                   request:(NSURLRequest *)request
                                   frame:(WebFrame *)frame
                                   decisionListener:(id<WebPolicyDecisionListener>)listener

The simplest thing to do is just call [listener ignore] for everything. That will also prevent any back/forward navigation, reloads, or form submits from working. If you want more control, you can look at the actionInformation dictionary and check the type before calling [listener ignore] or [listener use].
