is there an "earliest client" we can include that would have this, or just include an approximate date (clients from before November XX, 2024)? just so when this is present, it still makes sense in a month or two

Edit the return type for
openExternalLink. With this change the result ofopenExternalLinkwill be an object containing a boolean valueopened.If
openedis true, then the link was opened by the userIf
openedis false, then the link was not opened by the userThe lifetime of the promise is also changed. Previously the promise completed after opening the "Leaving Discord" dialog, but with this change the promise completes after the user selects an action in the dialog (visit the site, or go back). If the dialog does not appear because the site visit is automatically approved, then the promise returns
{ opened: true }following the link opening.
