[VSCode][openai.chatgpt] File links in chat do not open in editor (macOS)

I’m reporting an issue with the openai.chatgpt VSCode extension.

Summary When I click file links sent by Codex in chat, the file does not open in the VSCode editor.

Expected behavior Clicking a file link from Codex (for example, an absolute path with line reference) should open the target file in the editor.

Actual behavior Nothing happens when I click the file link (no file opens).

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a chat with Codex in VSCode.

2. Receive a response containing file links.

3. Click a file link.

4. The file does not open in the editor.

Troubleshooting already attempted

• Updated VSCode and extension.

• Ran Developer: Reload Window.

• Confirmed workspace is trusted.

• Disabled/re-enabled the extension.

• Tested in another workspace.

Environment

• VSCode 1.116.0 (Universal)
