It is more like Flatpak is confused.   As both a new Brave window
opens, but the link is opened
in the existing Brave.  It is like  Flatpak  see a link click .. starts
a new instance of the default
browser before checking to see if one is already running and then
checks, detects the original
instance of the browser and had hands the link to the original
instance.

I don't see it .   This is about Chrome not opening a mailto: link when
the default mail client is
set to Evolution
