When you click "link to page" in OneNote (doesn't matter if web view or from within the desktop app) this will create two links: one with onenote:https:// scheme that will open either the desktop app or Microsoft Store app and a "web view" link in parentheses.
Those two links in your clipboard can then be pasted in a new e-mail (say in Outlook) but also into a new conversation in Microsoft Teams.
Problem: links to pages that have special characters in their page titles like umlauts (ä, ö, ß) but even brackets [] , parantheses () or slash / won't open in OneNote app when pasted into Microsoft Teams (but will open when clicked on within a mail in Outlook).
OneNote app will try to open the referred link but display an error message like:
«We couldn't open that location. It might not exist or you might not have permission to open it.\n\nPlease contact the owner of |0 for more information.»
In short: application link pasted into Outlook works, same link pasted into Teams does not work. Pasting into Teams will somehow modify and break the onenote:https:// link
Could somebody else replicate this and confirm the bug please? It's not restricted to German language either as it happens in our environment with ( ) and / as well.

Hi @bunchofsage ,
What was an example name of one of your OneNotes?
However before going into this much deeper I wonder if the following would work if you feel the link is getting broken due to an escape/break character or similar.
In a message are you clicking on the Rich Text Editor Icon:
If not, could you click it and for you link utilise across the top the following link option:
Does that method work any better?
Thanks
Henry

example page title:
Allg.: Kein gültiger Benutzer im Kontenplan
> Does that method [Rich Text Editor] work any better?
About pasting a link via Rich Text Editor: it's a bit more complicated as the Insert Link dialog only accepts https: scheme * and not the onenote: scheme that comes with OneNote application links. When I want to paste something with onenote:https://tenantname.sharepoint.com I get "invalid URL" and cannot press Insert.
* scheme = protocol, see https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/inserting-links/m-p/1034700/highlight/true#M4...

Helllo, any update about this problem ?
I didn't found any workaround except forbid special characters...
