Platform Independent Browser Object?

Does anyone know of a platform independent browser object that can
be used in PureBasic for Windows, Linux and OS X? (Free or Commercial)

I need a browser object that lets me intercept clicks on links and redirect
the clicks to my own program so I can decide what needs to be loaded
into the browser window.

Thanks,
-Garrett

Windows, Linux (GTK+2), MacOS X

there are no cross platform functions for link catching.
it would be nice if we could receive "window events" for this gadget...

My reason for asking this is that I want to build a cross platform help
viewer. The documents would all be contained in the executable and I
don't want to spit out the files all over the users hd. So being able to
intercept the link clicking would allow me to produce the proper info
for the browser window.

The other thing I neglected to think about was the ability to load data
directly into the browser object internally instead of from a local file
system.
