Apologies, my original post was not clear. It's better to ignore it. My suggestion is with respect to desktop MLO. There's two contexts here with respect to what happens with a URL. In the notes, and in a node (a task). My suggestion has to do with links in a node. Links in the notes are fine in that they a clickable. Links in a node are not fine, in that they are not clickable.
For a node I suggest making links clickable by using a ctrl + click keyboard combination. That is, while preserving in a node the *click to edit a node* functionality; and preserving in a note the *click to open a link* functionality. If that change was made I'd be satisfied. However, if that change was made then, for a consistent user experience, it might be better to also add ctrl + click keyboard combination *open a link* functionality to notes, in addition to nodes. That is, while preserving in a node the *click to edit a node* functionality; and preserving in a note the *click to open a link* functionality.
