How do I prevent Preview.app from confirming each time I click on a web link?

Prior to MacOS Ventura, clicking on a web link within a PDF viewed in Preview.app would immediately open that URL in my default browser. Since upgrading to Ventura, however, clicking on such a web link pops up an interstitial dialogue asking me to confirm that I want to open this link in the browser. Whilst I appreciate the security hand-holding *in principle*, the fact is that I *always* want to open the link and, as somebody who opens quite a *lot* of links from PDFs in Preview, this additional step is just an irritation. **Is there any way to turn this new behaviour off?**
(Perhaps some hidden preference setting that needs a Terminal command to toggle on/off?)
