Javascript in URL does not create a link in SSRS 2022

In SSRS 2022, using the below Javascript will not generate a link once deployed. This feature works fine in SSRS 2016 and before. Browser version does not matter.

="javascript:void(window.open('https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/...','_blank'))"

If you remove the Javascript and re-deploy, a URL is generated, but does NOT open in a new window:

="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services"

Same issue as here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1917840/javascript-not-working-with-ssrs-report-in-edge

What is the workaround or fix for this?

    By default all links (including mailto) in SSRS 2019 and later have been disabled. You must change Advanced setting for "SupportedHyperlinkSchemes" to "*". This fixed our issue.
