Sharepoint list links to custom view not working on Teams tab with a sharepoint page

Your default view is going to show in the URL like so....
https://yourdomain.com/sites/mysite/list/mylist/AllItems.aspx
Other views show up with a view ID at the end of that url such as
https://yourdomain.com/sites/mysite/list/mylist/AllItems.aspx?viewid=D15e0%2D41b6%2Dac00%2D1eb07e974...
What you need to do is get the view URL without all that GUID junk at the end and to do this its very simple. Lets say I have another view named "My Reports". All you have to do is replace the AllItems with the view name of the one you want to show.
https://yourdomain.com/sites/mysite/list/mylist/My%20Reports.aspx?
The %20 is expressed as a space to the browser so the browser reads it as My Reports.
Now, to add this to teams, create a new tab and select the new "lists" app. Select save to finish adding it to the channel. Once its been added, a configuration screen will come up. Choose the option to use an existing list then in the URL add your URL you built for that view.
https://yourdomain.com/sites/mysite/list/mylist/My%20Reports.aspx?
That's it! It should now show your list in that view. Please let me know if you have any questions.

We're experiencing a similar issue. It has been explained to us that it happens when the destination list/library is not on the same site as the link to the list view. When the link is on a site page of the same site as the list/library, then the links work perfectly.
A workaround, is to right-click the link and "open in new tab" and the list view works perfectly again, however the Quick Links web part doesn't give the option to open in new tab. So not ideal. Would be best if the links simply work!
