Research direction
Investigate the code that handles link clicks in card descriptions within the Electron desktop app. Look for duplicated event listeners or missing preventDefault in components like cardDetail.tsx. Check the repository's electron/ directory and webapp/src/components/cardDetail/ for relevant event handling logic. Review the issue comments for any maintainer hints or related code pointers.
