There is a WebView, an HTML page is loaded into it, for example, a link or a picture in it. Can I intercept a click on a picture or link and transfer it to the application?

    You can intercept URL changes.
    To do this, WebViewClient needs to override the method

    shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)

    or

     shouldInterceptRequest(WebView view, String url)

    I think it is possible to intercept clicks, but not easy. For example, set WebView onTouchListener, in which to determine in some way what element is located on these coordinates.

    UPD:
    How to determine which element is located on given coordinates:

     WebView.loadUrl("javascript:document.elementFromPoint(x, y);");

    The result can be returned by embedding JavaScriptInterface in WebView
