This issue might be a duplicate of or related to existing issues about link handling in the desktop app. Please check:

  • #10110: URL opening within opencode desktop app (similar issue on macOS)
  • #8361: When click on a link in opencode desktop, it opens the link in the same window, not external browser
  • #10309: Desktop: Option to open links in external browser (feature request for external browser option)
  • #6484: Opening a link within the Linux app brings you to a "dead end" (similar issue on Linux - no way to escape)

These issues are related to how the embedded browser handles link clicks. The core difference with #10613 is that on Windows, the browser opens but cannot be closed, whereas other platforms have the browser opening in-app or providing limited navigation options.
