Comment (by swissspidy):

 Because we're passing the clicked URL using `postMessage` and doing the
 event handling ourselves, we'd need to use `window.open()` here. This is
 usually blocked by browsers, resulting in a bad user experience because
 nothing happens when clicking on a link inside our iframe.

 So we can't really implement this right now.
