Summary
Problem
When clicking links in AI-generated markdown output in the desktop app, such as GitHub PR links, they were opening inside the Tauri webview rather than in the system's default browser. This happened because
target="_blank"links bypass Tauri'son_navigationhandler.Solution
class="external-link".external-linkanchors and opens them viaplatform.openLink()(which uses Tauri's shell plugin)This keeps the fix isolated to the desktop package while reusing the existing
openLinkplatform API.
