Open file does not work when path contains symbolic link under linux

[npfistner]

Opening a file using file association with a file path containing a symbolic link does not open the file an leafs the canvas empty. Also trying to open the the file using the file dialog does not work because symbolic links do not show up in it.

I'm using drawio desktop 13.6.2 from Snap (available from package manager) on Linux: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal

Any update on this? This is particularly unfortunate for me since my Documents folder is a symlink pointing to a separate drive.

Turns out this could be a filesystem permission issue with Snap and Flatpak. Running flatpak override --user --filesystem=host com.jgraph.drawio.desktop fixes the issue, I had similar issues with a few other apps as well.
