Ng-bind-html and Cordova InAppWebView

I have a common problem where mark-up is coming back from a feed (JSON), and I’m using ng-bind-html to output it as clean HTML. However in this mark-up, I have “anchor” tags that need to link to external content. Normally, I would just leave them - but I need to target the “anchor” tags to be opened in Cordova InAppWebView, and while setting “a” directive works - seems to be a timing issues and it doesn’t get picked up. Any guidance on how to get this to work?
