Take a look on ChildBrowser plugin which allows you to open a new browser window:

1. Intercept click by adding onclick handler to link, for example onclick="openInExternalBrowser(this);return false;"

2. User openInExternalBrowser to call ChildBrowser plugin

 var url = ... ChildBrowser.install(); window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage(url); 

3. If it works for you you can modify plugin .cs code to launch WebBrowserTask instead.

Alternatively

If you know what uri must be opened in external browser you can proceed with the following approach

> void WebBrowser1_Navigating(object sender, NavigatingEventArgs e) {
>     if (IsSupposedToOpenInPhoneBrowser(e.Uri))
>     {
>         e.Cancel = true;
>         WebBrowserTask task = new WebBrowserTask();
>         task.URL = e.Uri.ToString();
>         task.Show();
>     } }
