Describe the bug
As said in the title, i am running Obsidian inside distrobox, an arch instance, and i am unable to open any URL or custom obsidian URI from the app
For those who don't know, obsidian is a markdown notetaking app with plugins, and neither making a link with normal markdown syntax, or using plugins that will open custom URIs for added functionality works, opening those URIs inside my web browser will succesfully open them in Obsidian, so host to vm is fine, what's wrong is vm to host for URLs and even vm to vm (or i guess vm to host to vm ?) for URIs
(For reference, the flatpka version of the Obsidian app does it fine ofc)

To Reproduce
Install obsidian app inside distrobox, try to make a web link or custom uri with the syntax [test](<custom url/uri>) and then try to click it

Expected behavior
It should open URLs in the host browser and obsidian URIs should work open in the app itself

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Are you using podman, docker or lilipod?
    • podman
  • Which version or podman, docker or lilipod?
    • podman 5.3.1
  • Which version of distrobox?
    • 1.8.0
  • Which host distribution?
    • Fedora Linux 41 (KDE Plasma) x86_64
  • How did you install distrobox?
    • Through dnf, "updates" repo

Additional context
I saw something similar in issue #645 , however, the final proposed solution of changing the Exec command in the .desktop file didn't work, especially since my .desktop fiel for obsidian already came with the argument Exec=/usr/local/bin/distrobox-enter -n Arch-distrobox -- /usr/bin/obsidian %U
