Encoded hashtag in matrix.to URL causes it to open in a new tab instead of in-app

I would like to work on this issue, please guide me on how to reproduce it? :)

copy/paste that link into a room and click it - it should navigate you to the room, but it doesn't. https://matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org does though.

@turt2live I think one of the reasons why the link is opening in the new tab could be that the link is pointing in the direction which is not completely found, please check the answers part of this link.

Hi @Ashray123 , I think it's something to do with the regex pattern MATRIXTO_URL_PATTERN in linkify-matrix.js that is causing the url to not parse in the TextualBody.js in the href .

Also note that they are not pillified when the pill format gets sent from other clients with urlencoded urls.

@MTRNord that sounds like a different issue
