Note links don't open without popup

When I click on links in notes a popup shows up with link rather than continuing to link target. I'm pretty sure I used to be able to click directly and popup would only become visible on right click.

  • Note links are provided by the Better Notes plugin.
    This should be discussed in the GitHub page of the plugin:

    See related discussion in this thread:

  • It's true that Better Notes is installed and running in screenshot but the links acted the same way before I installed Better Notes. I can remove the plugin and send a new screenshot if that helps.

    The link in the screenshot (zotero://note/...) is generated by the Better Notes plugin. This type of note links would not exist without the plugin.
    In earlier versions of the plugin, they were accessible with a single click. But this was later changed to be consistent with other Zotero links. The discussion I have linked discusses the possibility to get the links working as single click as an option.

    To which links are you referring to?

    I think that all the other Zotero links (http links, zotero://select/..., zotero://open-pdf/... or any other link added to a note with the Zotero "Insert Link") have always displayed the popup window, at least in the recent 3 months I have been using it.
  • Perhaps I am misremembering. And I should also say that I don't think of the popup as a huge obstacle; barely an inconvenience. It adds exactly one additional step to click on the link once it shows up in the popup. And maybe it is now an intentional feature. I wanted to know if it had changed as a result of an unintentional setting change on my part.
