You can use the WebView OnClick to check which link was clicked and take action accordingly. Like this:

wv.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public boolean onClick(View v){
    HitTestResult result = wv.getHitTestResult();
    String url = result.getExtra();
    //Log.i(myTag, url);
    if(url.equals("which-ever-url-you-want-to-override.com"){
        Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), yourActivity.class);
        startActivity(i);
    }


}
});

getHitTestResult() will give you an object that will tell you where the URL of the link points. You can use this to make different links do different things within your app.
