At least on macOS, the issue is present just for "direct" links, i.e. when the message text is automatically converted in a clickable url.

If the link is composed using the anchor function (add text -> select anchor -> insert link -> save)
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5fe13190-9241-472b-a959-93d036bf9bbd
the user is presented with the open link popup, and that works
I can't seem to debug the issue using ferdium developer tools, but from the web client html structure is basically the same, I'd guess there's a different handling in the js part.

On Arch. Left clicking a link gives a broken link, but middle clicking opens it correctly.
Same behaviour on Fedora 42, also "K" Version works fine, "a" version does not.
