   This issue might be a duplicate of or related to existing issues about link handling in the desktop app. Please check:

   These issues are related to how the embedded browser handles link clicks. The core difference with #10613 is that on Windows, the browser opens but cannot be closed, whereas other platforms have the browser opening in-app or providing limited navigation options.
