    Description

      When doing Ctrl+click on a link or using javascript window.open, createWindow() is called, followed by acceptNavigationRequest() on the new page. In a web browser (konqueror) we need to be able to differenciate between the two use cases, e.g. to implement things like a confirmation messagebox ("this website wants to open a popup, accept/deny?").

      With QtWebkit we used the NavigationType enum passed to acceptNavigationRequest(), if it was NavigationTypeLinkClicked it was a user action (no confirmation), if it was NavigationTypeOther it was triggered by javascript.

      With QtWebEngine the API looks the same, but the type enum is always NavigationTypeLinkClicked, it seems.

      Testcase:

        <a href="javascript:setTimeout(window.open('http://www.davidfaure.fr'), 3000)">window.open delayed</a>

      QtWebKit says:

      NewWindowPage::acceptNavigationRequest: url: QUrl("http://www.davidfaure.fr/") ,type: 5 (NavigationTypeOther)

      QtWebEngine says:

      NewWindowPage::acceptNavigationRequest: url: QUrl("http://www.davidfaure.fr/") , type: 0 (NavigationTypeLinkClicked)
