Call URL Handler leads to crash in new Teams
Could you please share the exact link format that you are using to test window.open?

ChetanSharma-msftI call window.open like this:
window.open("test-url-handler:email address removed for privacy reasons", "_self");
test-url-handler is a valid url handler registered in windows. If I call "test-url-handler:email address removed for privacy reasons" from a browser it actually opens the registered application as desired.
Thanks
Matthias

Hello MatthiasAbele - Thanks for sharing the information.
This issue is because of violation of Content Security Policy in Teams.
So, we will confirm with engineering team and let you know the updates whether it is not supported or a bug.- vikram-MFSTMar 01, 2024Brass Contributor
Hello MatthiasAbele
we have got an update from our engineering team.
We've always had that CSP header in place for the Teams Web Client (T1 and T2.1); it's now also in effect for the New Teams Desktop Client (T2.1). This header is necessary to ensure the security. If you need to launch out to a native app via a custom protocol, you can use any one of these options:
1)Call window.open with target parameter set to "_blank" instead of "_self".
2)Use an anchor tag with target="_blank"
3)Call the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/@microsoft/teams-js/app?view=msteams-client-js-latest#@microsoft-teams-js-app-openlink or https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/@microsoft/teams-js/?view=msteams-client-js-latest#@microsoft-teams-js-executedeeplink SDK API
