Issue With Opening Web Link

Hello anyone who might read this! I’m not sure if this would be considered a bug or a feature request. To me it seems like a bug, but it could be intentional and I could be wrong. With that said, Obsidian doesn’t open web links unless you add the “https://” to the beginning of the url. In all the browsers I have used recently, they have no issue taking in just the domain and name.

Steps to reproduce

The first of the three tests doesn’t work as I would think it should.

[test](obsidian.md)
[test2](https://obsidian.md)
[test3](https://www.obsidian.md)

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

A web link in obsidian opens the url in my browser

Actual result

Obsidian treats these web links like note links, and creates a new note titled that url.

Additional information

This might be the intended result, in which case I might need to change my post to be a feature request. Let me know if that is the case!

Hello. This is not a bug. It’s intentional and will not be changed. Sorry!
