How to open iframe's links in default browser?

Question

I've a embeded YouTube player in a PhoneGap app.

When user clicks on the Youtube's logo he goes to YouTube's site (inside PhoneGap webview yet) and can't back to app.

I removed the inappbrowser plugin but Youtube still opening inside the app.

As a bad UX situation, Apple rejected the app too.

Any thoughts?

@KennethLi The link is inside of Youtube's player iframe, so I can't modify its content. — Theo B, Jun 07 '15 at 17:01
@poornerd I had to prevent the user to click in the YT icon. Was a poor solution but Apple accepted. `$('#ytplayer').contents().find('.ytp-scalable-icon-shrink').css('pointer-events', 'none')` — Theo B, Jul 24 '15 at 01:20

Another poor solution, but more elegant.

Idea is the same: prevent opening of links from iframe with aim to prevent navigation of app-webview.

It can be done over sandbox directive of iframe, like described in this answer: Prevent links in iframe to navigate/takeover cordova webview, especially in ios

don't post links in answers as they can stop working – johnny 5 Jan 23 '16 at 16:34
