Evolution as the default email application on Ubuntu

When I install Gnome Evolution Ubuntu through apt, I can set it as the default email application, and it opens up email links with no problem. However, when it’s installed as flatpak, I can set it as the default email program, but it won’t open the links. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I’m using Mint Cinnamon (based on Ubuntu) and the Evolution flatpak automatically opens links for me.

Looks like someone else is having a similar problem with Thunderbird and flatpak: does not handle mailto links · Issue #184 · flathub/org.mozilla.Thunderbird · GitHub
