Catch Navigating Event on your webview and call Device.Open(your uri)

 webview.Navigating += (s, e) =>
            {
                if (e.Url.StartsWith("http"))
                {
                    try
                    {
                        var uri = new Uri(e.Url);
                        Device.OpenUri(uri);
                    }
                    catch (Exception)
                    {
                    }

                    e.Cancel = true;
                }
            };
