In my case, even if I use click with “href” and an external url, it doesn’t work

Both examples below work fine in Mermaid’s live editor online ([https://mermaid.live](https://mermaid.live)), including internal obsidian links.

But when I paste them in obsidian, the Gantt chart nodes show as links and the mouse pointer changes accordingly. However, clicking on the nodes doesn’t do anything.

This one uses a link to google

````auto
```mermaid
gantt
dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD

Example Task: active, ExampleTask, 2022-12-04, 3d

click ExampleTask href "https://google.com"

```

### Mermaid Live Opens the Obsidian Link just fine

Unfortunately, obsidian doesn’t 😢
