Can't open joplin://x-callback-url link in MacOS desktop app

[d-volution]

After clicking on a x-callback-url link the desktop app does not open the link, nor does it produce any ui visible change/reaction at all. No error message box, too. Opening normal http links works just fine.

It seems to me that the error comes from the fact that the regex in urlUtils.js line 3 doesn't match a x-callback-url.

Environment

Joplin version: 2.8.8
Platform: prod, darwin
OS specifics: macOS Big Sur (Version 11.6.3 on a MacBook Pro from 2014, Intel Core i5)

Steps to reproduce

1. right click tag, -> copy external link to get tag url
2. create a joplin://x-callback-url link in Markdown, like [link](joplin://x-callback-url/openTag?id=3c8bf0b1acb2423bac6242a94e9f3721)
3. click on it in rendered view

Describe what you expected to happen

Obviously, clicking on the link should open it. But nothing happend. I've restarted Joplin and even tried to open the link from the Browser.

#5168 Add support for callback URLs ...

[roman-r-m]

The problem is that links starting with joplin:// interpreted differently when called from inside the app -- Joplin expects only ID after the protocol.
So it's working as designed, it's just the design turned out to be not very good.

[laurent22]

We should probably just pass the URL back to the system like a regular URL, since that's where the handler is.
