After a recent update, the pad inserts its own redirect URLs instead of the original link in pads.
Instead of the original URL, clicking the link redirects to something like https://pad.hamburg.ccc.de/_link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&note=test-note.

Clicking on that link shows a page like this:

In my view this is undesirable behavior and should be disabled if possible.

I'll try to monitor the Hedgedoc releases and update the settings in time.
