Open website from a iOS 10 webapp in Safari

I'm stuck on a very annoying problem: I own a website and I need the user to visit it from the native Safari app when on iPhone/iPad with iOS 10.

Problems arise when a third-party webapp (that uses the "embedded version" of the mobile browser) has a link to my website. The user clicks the link but my website is opened inside the webapp. It does not open it in an external instance of Safari.

Is there a workaround to open it on Safari? I mean, since I'm not able to change the source code of a given webapp... can I use Javascript on my website for this task?

I've already searched for solutions with many results... but no luck:

None of them works. And if you are curious, the most problematic app I'm talking about is... Instagram. When the users click on a link in that app, it does not open Safari but it stays in an internal webview. Damn!
