title: Cordova, why would InAppBrowser plugin be required to open links in system browser
body: <p>I have a Cordova app, it is a single page application with a single HTML file. </p>
  
  <p>All links should open in the system browser. I don't want an "embedded" InAppBrowser but really the native system / external browser.</p>
  
  <p>Everywhere we can find example of code using InAppBrowser with something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>window.open('http://apache.org', '_system');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But why do we need to install InAppBrowser, even if we don't even plan to use an embedded browser?</p>
  
  <p>Can someone really expain what is supposed to be the behavior of a WebView, regarding the target of a link. It is not clear what it is supposed to do with a <code>target=_blank</code>, but I don't see anything else it can do except opening a new browser window. </p>
  
  <p>Notice that the problem seems to only be with iOS because with Android (with Crosswalk plugin) using <code>target=_blank</code> seems to always work fine and open in a new native browser window.</p>
