Bug Description

When clicking links in the chat history, they currently open within the Electron app itself instead of the user's default browser. This causes users to lose all active conversations as the app navigates away from the chat interface.

Expected Behavior

Clicking any external links in the chat history should open them in the user's default browser, keeping the Hikari Desktop app interface intact.

Current Behavior

Links open within the Electron app window, replacing the chat interface and causing loss of active conversation context.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have an active conversation with links in the chat history
  2. Click on any external link
  3. The link opens in the app window, losing all conversation context

Impact

This causes significant user frustration as all active conversations are lost when accidentally clicking a link.

Proposed Solution

Configure Electron to intercept link clicks and open them using shell.openExternal() to ensure they open in the default browser.
