You can override the URL link clicks and open an activity on each click:

    webView = new WebView(this);
    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
        {
            // Override URL
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
            {
                Intent intent = new Intent(...);
                startActivity(intent);
                return true;
            }
        });
