Thanks for a bug report. As far as I can tell, the link can be clicked, if the Ctrl key is pressed down too. It is also described in a tooltip, if you keep the mouse cursor above the link for a little period of time. Could you retest, please?
This indeed works. Seems I never kept the mouse long enough over the link. Is there a reason why the link is not just clickable and needs the Ctrl key pressed? I would have thought a changing muse cursor would appear so I can click it, but not to actually press a additional key. I heard several other users saying, that it would be great if the links were clickable, so it seems more people are missing this.
The idea is that the users would primarily copy the text elsewhere, than to click on the links. Having "open link on click" would make it hard to select the URL text. It is also consistent with the editors, where the Ctrl key is required to be able to verify the written down link.
