Messenger ChatBot open link in default browser

I have a messenger chatbot that show URL Buttons. When the user tap on the URL Button a webview is opened. I'd like the user to be redirected on the default browser instead of opening the webview, is this achievable in any way? Or is there any [ugly] workaround to achieve that?

Thanks

Please refer to URL button instead of webview inside your response options. You can set type to url and then pass urlbutton params. How I am doing this is as follows.

type: 'url',

urlButton: {

  url: 'somewhere.com',

  title: 'Title'

},

Did you try this before adding some comment? This is the exact payload I am sending in the body and it opens the URL in new window. Please verify and let me know if you find any difficulty.

{ attachment: 

  { type: 'template',

    payload: 

     { template_type: 'button',

       text: 'xyz',

       buttons: [ { type: 'web_url',

        url: 'http://www.google.com',

       title: 'New Button' } ] 

      }

  }

}

      }
