Description

When searching something in the Nextcloud desktop app, the result will also include fulltext search hits, but clicking these items will not do anything. Any other search result which is not full text search will open in the browser.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a full-text search in the Nextcloud desktop app and compare its result handling with other search results that open in the browser. Trace the full-text result entry point and determine what is needed for it to open its browser target; done means clicking a full-text hit behaves like the other results.
