I have a VB.Net application which hosts the AxWebBrowser control - This displays an ASP.NET page tailored to the users preferences.

This ASP.NET page displays a list of 'hotlink' links which invoke functionality in the hosting VB.NET Application.

The links look like this:

WebCommand:Command1&Param1&Param2

What I need to be able to do is have the host VB.NET app detect when the user has clicked a 'hotlink' link and then send the whole link (containing the command and it's parameters) to another function for processing.

The issue is, is that this page might contain links which are not 'hotlinks'. Furthermore, the page layouts are maintained by other web developers - I simply provide them a pseudo-API so it needs to be independant of frames and all kind of things.

Is there no way I can somehow get the system (OS) to detect it and then forward it to my app?

Kind of like when you click on a callto: or mailto: or magnet link.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?
