Description

When I press 'F'/'f' to open link: Vimium doesn't offer me to go to Groups (highlighted on screenshot). Although these groups aren't links but would be nice to easily go to with Vimium instead of mouse click. Vimium allows to switch between chats but not between Folders/Groups.

Some info:
Debian Linux 12

Vimium 2.3
Telegram: https://web.telegram.org/a/

Research direction

Start by reproducing the F/f link-hint behavior in Telegram Web at https://web.telegram.org/a/ and compare the highlighted chats with the Groups or folders shown in the issue screenshot. Trace Vimium's link-hint handling and determine how those targets could be included; done means a user can select a concrete group or folder with Open link instead of using the mouse.
