Describe the bug

Example error:

Deleting the square brackets will open the browser just fine.

Using xdg-open (which happens to be used by some CLI tools, e.g. lazygit) also results in the same error.

Steps to Reproduce

Run wslview "https://www.google.com/search?q=[test]"

Expected behavior

Browser opens the link, just like how I can put the exact same link in browser's address bar directly.
