The text formatting for URL links on the desktop website do not work because they are missing the href attribute in the HTML code. I used the Inspect Element tool in the browser to check them. As you can see the URL is not present. However if I open the same chat thread on the iOS mobile app, then tapping on the link does work properly. I am taken to the Google Maps app for this location. Since I cannot use the Inspect Element tool in the ChatGPT iOS app, I can't provide the HTML code, but suffice to say, it works in the iOS mobile app, but not in the desktop web browser for literally the same link in the same chat thread. I also tried multiple desktop web browsers (Safari, Brave, Arc) and I tried disabling content and ad blockers.
So there is a bug with the desktop browser interface where it removes the href attribute from the <a> tag. That makes the HTML links unclickable.
