I see what's happening there... That's due to snap's containerization efforts, which blocks loading of files from /usr/share/scribus. If you use any other non-snap browser it should just work.
I don't use snaps, no, so I'm having no good ideas on how to fix that. And ISTR I had a good reason to have the symlinks that way instead of installing in usr/share/doc amd symlinking on usr/share/scribus, but i could always try again, as that's likely the easier workaround to those blocks.
