per the documentation:

allow-navigation

Controls which URLs the WebView itself can be navigated to. Applies to top-level navigations only.

allow-intent

Controls which URLs the app is allowed to ask the system to open. By default, no external URLs are allowed.

This whitelist worksheet should help.
