This adds a fallback click handler for all links in the message to ensure that links that were ignored as part of linkification (e.g. pills, links in message content) will still navigate in-app where possible. This approach preserves a side benefit of #7453, which kept all link hrefs as matrix.to style links (so that they can be easily copied and shared). Fixes element-hq/element-web#20715

Unsure if they worked before, but what about ctrl + clicking links in messages?

Ah hmm... IIRC, we have always forced in-app navigation (at least in recent times), but it does seem reasonable to support Ctrl/Cmd + Click to force a separate tab for those who want it. Since this is aimed at fixing a regression and that's effectively an enhancement, I'd say it's best to file an issue track that separately.
