      Summary

      When creating a web link, using a slack:// URL in the link appears to work in the editor, however it does not work after being published. It simply does nothing.

      Environment

      Cloud
      Confluence

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Edit a page
      2. Add a link using the "Insert Link" Macro.
      3. In the link dialog, select "web link"
      4. In the Address use a valid slack:// URL.
      5. use the link in the editor (see that it works)
      6. Publish the page

      Expected Results

      The Link works as expected and opens slack to the resource specified by the link

      Actual Results

      Clicking the link does nothing

      Notes

      Viewing the HTML from confluence using the chrome inspector, I see that the element is like so:

      <a href="slack://channel?team=T12345">This is a link</a>
      

      Using the link in a simple HTML page seems to work, but it does not work out of confluence.

      Workaround

      No workaround at this time.
