Can't save Wayback Machine links via bookmarklet
Bug Description
When trying to save a webpage in the Wayback Machine using the bookmarklet you get directed to the non-existent archived link of your own bookmarklet/add link.
How to reproduce
- Go to: https://web.archive.org/web/20230319211922/https://12factor.net/dependencies
- Click on your LinkAce bookmarklet.
- You'll now be directed to: https://web.archive.org/web/20230319211922/https://example.com/bookmarklet/add?u=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20230319211922%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2F12factor.net%2Fdependencies&t=The%20Twelve-Factor%20App&d=
Expected behavior
My own site link was used: https://example.com/bookmarklet/add?u=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20230319211922%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2F12factor.net%2Fdependencies&t=The%20Twelve-Factor%20App&d=

That's a really odd behaviour. I guess that the Wayback Machine messes with the standard window.open() function and alters how it works. Will have a deeper look later on.
I can confirm that the Internet Archive messes with the window.open() function which is definitely not supposed to happen. It's a standard JS function and overriding it with something else is bad practise. At the moment there is no way around saving the URL directly in LinkAce.
