System-wide indication that link from app is being open in browser

A lot of apps include links to webpages. When clicking/tapping on the link, it will open browser in background and load the page. However, there is no indication that browser is launching in background, focus is switched after the browser finally launches, so user doesn't know that the link really is tappable, that the tap worked or that it will be opened in different application.

I think there should be some sort of indication that another app is launching in background upon tapping the link. Possibly it should work not just for urls/browser but always when one app is launching different one.

One could steal again from webOS. Here it is solved by going into "mutlitasking" view showing another tile wich goes to fullscreen once loaded.I made a quick video showing the feature.

Oh, and I suck at videos. :)
