This seems likely to be the issue. I rebooted in the last week and I
just noticed that links in nheko are working again. That makes me wonder
if updating my packages without restarting my session/computer is what
breaks the links, and then rebooting maybe fixes the functionality again
if it re-saves an absolute file name to the new spot after a reboot.
I just tested quaternion and I can currently open a link from there as
well.

One of the nheko devs says nheko doesn't do this, but that it calls a Qt
function. So, this could be a wider Qt issue, or "Qt weirdness", as
raingloom said earlier.
