Description
### Steps to reproduce
Short story: Open a permalink to an article that's displayed in the browser.
Long story:
- Post an article to a (publicly readable, if that matters) Matrix group
- Obtain a permalink to that article
- Embed that permalink in a web site
- Open that web site in a browser
- Open the permalink
- At the matrix.to UI, choose to open with Element if not already pre-chosen.
- Activate the link behind "open it here" in the sentence "If you already have Element installed, you can open it here."
- At the pop up whether to open the `element://room/!.....` link, activate the open option.
- At the pop up which app to use, select "open with Element".
Several other people also have this problem, so I think it is readily reproducible, so I speculate a log is not needed. Should that be wrong, please tell me.
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
Element is opened at that article.
#### What happened instead?
An error pop-up appears about the matrix.to link to be misformed.
