Well, shoot. It’s probably a problem with my device, then. OK to close this bug report.

@WhiteNoise, can you reproduce the issue if you minimize the Obsidian vault window before using the Obsidian link?

Apologies for omitting that step originally. Minimizing windows is second nature to me, so I did not even think about it as a step in the process. When I navigate away from Obsidian instead of minimizing it, the window does activate as expected. When the window is minimized, the Obsidian link does not restore it to an active, visible state.
