It will really help for you to get in the habit of using the actual names instead of things like "stock web browser". Can you do that?

the web browser is the stock web browser on the wp7
the "web browser xaml" page is a blank page with an embedded coded browser in it(pardon for the xml. i meant xaml). i can show you my code or upload a video showing you the problem.

I am sorry, but I still don't know what "the browser", "web browser xml page" or "web browser xaml page" are.

what my application does is it stores a rss feed from a blog. Right now i have used expression to create a hyperlink to open the blog post and launching the browser outside the application. What i want to be able to do is open the blog post and launch the web browser within the app. i have created a web browser xaml page. Right now if i click on the blog post, the web browser xaml page will open but i need help on retrieving the link for each rss feed post so that when i click on it, the selected blog post will open. I basically want the app to open the link within the app and not leaving the app to the phone's web browser which is inconvenient to the user since you have to go back to the app and load everything back up. Sorry for not responding sooner, i had an emergency.

We will need more information about what your appliction does. It will really help if you can be specific; you say "it" and "the browser" and "web browser xml page" and all of that is very vague.
