Current implementation doesn't hook to HTML's navigation directly. We
delegate the html navigation(or call native application) to application.
Application is able to decide to navigate the given html page or execute
native application through the patch. As far as I know, Chrome also has
similar implementation.

If this feature can be landed, I have a plan to test this scenario based on
mock implementation.
