I filed a formal ticket, and it's finally been acknowledged in the admin center.  Tracked as CP1116386

Not a formal answer. I did some testing. Try to avoid using words like Downloadable or Link.
Just ask: "Create a Word document" (or other supported file type) also if it asks you what to do.

    I have the same issue as prullman. I prompt to generate a set of ideas. It puts it in full text but when I ask it to list them in Word or Excel it will only generate these type of sandbox links and even worse
    - it first spits a first part of what could be a good table but only for 1/8 of the quantity it had promised. (a little while back we had a copy button next to such tables and that was actually better than how it is now)
    - if I ask it for instructions on how to access that file it starts hallucinating

    Often we're not prompted for these files. Copilot is offering them up without prompting. It asks if we want the output of its analysis in a Word and PowerPoint file. We answer "Yes". It puts them in sandbox which is inaccessible.
