How can I make file:// links open the file instead of revealing it in the Finder?

I can create a hyperlink within a document in e.g. TextEdit, and set the URL of the hyperlink to file:///path/to/my-file.txt. When I click on the hyperlink, I want my-file.txt to open in the default application for that file type. Instead, when I click on the hyperlink, a Finder window opens with my-file.txt selected. This happens with every file type and every application that I've tried. Is there a way to change macOS's behavior here?
