Hi, I don't know how to do this, but Balsa is not the only app that 
would benefit. Evolution and Geary want the same behavior. You can look 
into what they do, although I suspect it might be complicated 
unfortunately.

(Keep in mind you will eventually need to either port Balsa to GTK 4 or 
stop using WebKitGTK. The GTK 3 API is legacy and will not remain 
supported forever.)
