You need to set an object as the UIDelegate of your WebView and in that object implement the webView:createWebViewWithRequest: method.

In your implementation of that method, you need to open a new window containing a separate WebView and then tell its mainFrame to load the URLRequest passed as a parameter to the method.

Update:

I’ve looked at your code. You need to assign an object as the web view’s UIDelegate, so add a [webView setUIDelegate:self] line into applicationDidFinishLaunching:.

A very simple example of how to implement the delegate would be:

- (WebView *)webView:(WebView *)sender createWebViewWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
{
    NSUInteger windowStyleMask =    NSClosableWindowMask | 
                                    NSMiniaturizableWindowMask |
                                    NSResizableWindowMask |
                                    NSTitledWindowMask;
    NSWindow* webWindow = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 800, 600) styleMask:windowStyleMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO];
    WebView* newWebView = [[WebView alloc] initWithFrame:[webWindow contentRectForFrameRect:webWindow.frame]];
    [newWebView setAutoresizingMask:NSViewWidthSizable|NSViewHeightSizable];
    [webWindow setContentView:newWebView];
    [webWindow center];
    [webWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
    [[newWebView mainFrame] loadRequest:request];
    return newWebView;
}
