MS Teams copy link for files doesn't provide Teams link, only give SharePoint link

I got confirmation from Microsoft that they are going ahead with this changeover and above link is the roadmap they provided.
I know I feel the same as you guys but hey It's Microsoft !
Today I noticed something at a customer of mine, and I verified at other customers... It seems that now (since when???) the link (which a SP link for sure) opens again in Teams when clicked in Teams. So it seems that Teams "intercepts" the rendering - and shows a SP link (to a document) again in Teams. If you click this link outside of Teams (e.g. in a mail) then you do go to SP, not Teams... So it seems to be a solution - the link is "universal" (= SP link) but the rendering when clicked in Teams is done in Teams.
Do any of you confirm this observation?
no go here, still not fixed Teams Version 1.5.00.12969 (64-bit) Koen Daems
Perhaps this bad design solution have something to do with the issue they have had from Feb 2022:
TM320472 - A limited number of users may be unable use the "Copy link" option to share files in Microsoft Teams
At the moment this item is marked as resolved, but perhaps the outcome was a new way of "copy" Teams links.
At least I have not notified any communications related to the new way of copy links.
Koen Daems - that works for some of my colleagues. When I open the link, which is sent to me in the Teams chat, it opens in the desktop app. I think depends on the default options chosen - I have as default to open docs in the desktop app. I can force it to open it in Team by clicking on options and then open in Teams.
Koen DaemsWe've just tested this, and unfortunately it doesn't work for us.
