Changing link behaviour in RSS

I have an RSS service which returns a link to a website. When this link is clicked the website is opened in a new window outside the app. It is then easy for the user to click around and not be able to get back to the app. Is it possible to change the link so that the web page opens between the header and footer so that the app navigation remains in place?
I have seen the topics relating to opening the page in an iFrame but have been unable to work out how to do this from the RSS response.
Thanks in advance!

Hello! There is no difference if it's rss or not. Please try, should be working in iframe.

Sorry I don't understand.
The RSS populates a grid via a service as per your example. One of the fields in the RSS is a link (URL). This is mapped to the URL property of a Link control. If you click on the link then you are taken to the URL but in a new window. I would like to change this so that the URL opens 'inside' the app. I have tried to do this by adding JS to the URL mapping but have been unable to make it work.

Could you post JS you've tried?

Hi, you could try rss.com and use the Readability function. That's how I navigate to full articles. Some pages don't support Readability but most worth reading do.
