Excel: Open hyperlink with parameters opens on default page despite successful authentification

In Excel I have a Hyperlink to a web address like

https://subdomain.domain.com/index.php?/section/detail/8

A click in Excel on this link leads to

https://subdomain.domain.com/index.php?/mainpage

This is the same case, no matter which browser is set as default (IE, Chrome & Firefox).

A click in Notepad++ leads to the expected detail page according the URL Parameters.

==> This means the way Excel opens a hyperlink is different to Notepad++

What can I try to get to the detail page with Excel like I get it from Notepad++. Is there a setting I can change?

THX 4 ur help!
