public class MyWebBrowser : WebBrowser
{
   public MyWebBrowser() : base(){ }

   protected override void OnNewWindow(System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
   {
      try
      {
         Process.Start(StatusText);
      }
      catch(Exception e)
      {
         //Display error message
      }
      e.Cancel = true;
      base.OnNewWindow(e);
   }
}

EDIT: Never mind, this won't work well. It will open the link the mouse is over instead on the one the user actually clicks (if they use the keyboard to click) and it is a huge security risk.
