WebView anchor tag run C#

I am working on a Xamarin.Forms PCL project. I am trying to display posts in a WebView using custom HTML to make hashtags clickable using an anchor tag.

An example of the HTML would be 

<html><p>Check out </p><a>@HelloWorld</a></html>

I am trying to make it so when the anchor tag is clicked it runs some C# code to navigate to the page to display the tag.

Navigation.PushAsync(ProfilePage("helloworld"));

I tried looking for a way with href but I couldn't find anything.

From webview you can get the value of the navigating url which you have mentioned in href or something from the below method.

<a href="something">@something</a> //in html

void OnNavigating(object sender, WebNavigatingEventArgs e)
    {

        e.Cancel = true;
        Debug.WriteLine("URL received after navigated123: {0}", e.Url);
        /* do your ProfilePage(Joe) stuff here */
        Navigation.PushAsync(ProfilePage(e.Url));
    }

You will get that something in e.Url. Hope at-least this helps.

I would suggest that you check out Firebase Dynamic links: https://firebase.google.com/products/dynamic-links/

This allow you to navigate users to any location within your app by clicking web links, app links, etc.

Hope this helps!
