How to cast java classes in nashorn?

Question

In my application I use javafx and I have a WebView that shows news from website. When any link is clicked inside of this WebView - it should open it in browser, not in WebView. I found code that should work in java:

NodeList nodeList = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
        for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++)
        {
            Node node= nodeList.item(i);
            EventTarget eventTarget = (EventTarget) node;
            eventTarget.addEventListener("click", new EventListener()
            {
                @Override
                public void handleEvent(Event evt)
                {
                    EventTarget target = evt.getCurrentTarget();
                    HTMLAnchorElement anchorElement = (HTMLAnchorElement) target;
                    String href = anchorElement.getHref();
                    //handle opening URL outside JavaFX WebView
                    System.out.println(href);
                    evt.preventDefault();
                }
            }, false);
        }

But the trick is, that i need to translate it to js(using nashron engine). Here what i have for the moment:

pane.lookup("#newsPane").getEngine().getLoadWorker().stateProperty()["addListener(javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener)"](
    function(o, ov, nv){
        if (nv == javafx.concurrent.Worker.State.SUCCEEDED) {
            // Here the things get started
            var nodes = pane.lookup("#newsPane").getEngine().getDocument().getElementsByTagName("a");
            for(var i=0;i<nodes.getLength();i++){
                var node = nodes.item(i);
                // I got node, but now i need to cast it to EventTarget, but i didn't find anywhere how to do that
                LogHelper.info(node);
                // instead of *node* there should be *eventTarget*, also i'm not sure the code above will work even with EventTarget
                node['addEventListener("click", javafx.event.EventListener)'](
                    function(evt){
                        var target = evt.getCurrentTarget();
                        var href = target.getHref();
                        LogHelper.info(href);
                        evt.preventDefault();
                    }
                )
            }
        }
    });

I found some Java.to() and Java.type(), but I didn't find out how to cast using them(not sure if it is possible at all). Could anyone give me some advise, please?

When you are using JavaScript, you do not need to cast your objects. So just call the function on the object.
