What happened?

Description

Since updating to Craft 5.5, element queries using :notempty: for Link field params no longer work as expected – i.e. a query like craft.entries.section('news').someLinkField(':notempty:').all() that would return entries with a value in a Link field someLinkField prior to 5.5, no longer returns any entries.

I tested this on Craft 5.4.10.1 as well, so it appears to be an unintended change in 5.5?

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Link field with the handle someLinkField (all settings at their defaults) and add it to an entry type's field layout
2. Create an entry and give it a value for the Link field (I set the Link field type to "URL" and added a URL like https://www.example.com. Save the entry.
3. Add the following query to a template:

{% set entries = craft.entries.someLinkField(':notempty:').all() %}
{% dd entries %}

Expected behavior

Passing :notempty: to a Link field query param should return entries with a value in that field.

Actual behavior

No entries are returned.
