Detect tap on image inside WKWebView

I have a WKWebView which has some images added with the <img src=...> tag, they are locally cached and I insert them into the WKWebView.

The images aren't being loaded from the web, with the regular <a href...>

As that , I want to present the tapped image to the user, but since the WKWebView could have a lot of images, I'm trying to detect the tap on the specific image, without success.

I tried the decidePolicyFor WKNavigationDelegate method, but anytime I tap an image no navigationType is called, and I don't know if I'm missing something here.

Thanks

So I have managed to surpass this issue.

Somehow I didn't knew I could create a link to a locally cached image as @GIJOW said.

After reading about it here I have managed to display an image inside the WKWebView as it was before, but the whole image is now tappable because it is embeded in a <a href> tag as the following.

Previous

<img src=\"\(imageNameHere)\"/>

After

<a href=\"some_url_or_link_you_want\"><img src=\"\(imageNameHere)\"/></a>
