Public bug reported: This is related to bug #1792648. After fixing that one (see discussion at https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/evince/merge_requests/1), clicking a hyperlink in a PDF opens it correctly if the default browser is a well-known application (such as /usr/bin/firefox), but it fails to do so if the default browser is a snap (e.g. the chromium snap).
This is not a recent regression, it's not working on bionic either.
