Steps to reproduce:

Wait for calendar reminder that has a https://blah.zoom.us/... or https://whatever.webex.com/... URL in the location or description.

Actual results:

Notification is displayed as non-selectable and non-active text.

Expected results:

Make the link either clickable, or at least make the text in the notification dialog selectable so it can be copy/pasted to browser url bar.

Good idea.

Now that we are all working remotely, this is REALLY important. All meetings have a link to Zoom, Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, and others. Right now I need to click on the notification, ask to open details which shows a popup asking if I want to edit one event or the whole series (for recurrent events), click to edit the event (even though I have NO INTENTION to edit it) just so I can copy the link and paste it on my browser. This is too cumbersome, lots of clicks and multiple windows.
The whole company uses Outlook (which is hideous) but I won't be able to make the case for Thuderbird without this. It would make anyone reject it as soon as they see how hard it is to join a meeting. And I must agree with them since I am also considering switching back to Outlook. We have several meetings every day.

Magnus? I find it annoying that I can't click on the Zoom links, for example.
