snapd's userd just calls "xdg-open <URL>" in the users session when a link is clicked, i have opened a task against xdg-utils, it should make sure to call the right command to open urls in existing browser sessions.
the opening of "help://" urls via userd is an explicit limitation in snapd's userd that should get a separate bug so things are not being mixed here. ** Also affects: xdg-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835024 Title: Links triggered within most snap apps open in a separate browser session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1835024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
