Your system needs to be updated.

ive updated and installed xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland and rebooted. but links still wont open
What is the output of xdg-settings set default-web-browser? In my case it’s set to firefox.desktop and links usually open fine.
You can set default browser using xdg-mime:
xdg-mime default firefox.desktop x-scheme-handler/https x-scheme-handler/http
