[webview_flutter] Expose the allowsLinkPreview property in WKWebView for iOS #100783
Description
Use case
I am using the WebView widget in my application and have noticed that users can long-press links to get a preview, aka, peek and pop view (iOS only feature):
I would like to have control over what WebViews have this property enabled on iOS.
This can be set by using the allowsLinkPreview boolean property on WKWebview.
Some other packages do expose this property like flutter_inappwebview - allowsLinkPreview
However, I feel this is a foundational level functionality for webviews on iOS and noticed that flutter_webviews package doesn't expose this property but does expose other iOS only properties like gestureNavigationEnabled.
Proposal
In a similar manner to the gestureNavigationEnabled property I was going to propose adding allowsLinkPreview and passing that through to the native WKWebView set up.

Hi @b099l3, it looks like there's already an existing issue requesting this feature, see #69748.
Kindly update your PR to reference that issue instead.
Closing from here as duplicate.
Thank you

Hi @danagbemava-nc
Sorry I had a look but was searching on the "[webview_flutter]" term, not to worry.
