I have tested this this morning and can add a OneNote Tab in a group chat without issue
As said in the error, the notebook needs to be located/stored in SharePoint or OneDrive for Business for it to work. If it is in SharePoint or OneDrive already select back to Browse Notebooks and it ought to be there, there should be no need to use links
A way around this could be
1.) In a Team or the group chat itself add a new OneNote Tab and create a new workbook
2.) Copy the data over from one notebook to the other
3.) If you created it in a Team, add it to the group chat as a Tab
Or move the OneNote file, if it is stored on your local machine into your OneDrive and then add it to the Group Chat via a Tab
Hope that answers your question. Let me know how you get on
Best, Chris
