Description
I am on a linux distribution, but really hope that the issue is more general and can be replicated elsewhere.
When in vscode in an markdown document which has a link to a local file, clicking on it does nothing.
file:///path/to.pdffile urls don't work/path/to.pdfpaths also dont work for me
