Description:
As of packaged version 5.13.0-2, clicking on hyperlinks in messages does nothing instead of opening a browser.
For reference, I am using GNOME 40.4. Setting the default browser to a different browser does not change the behaviour.

I could not capture any log statements that suggested what the issue was.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any
This task depends upon

I can confirm I also experience this on sway 1.6.1 and signal-desktop 5.14.0-1. I created an upstream issue here https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/5471. I can provide any other information if necessary.

I had this issue too, but it seems to be fixed in 5.14.0-2
