## Description

### **Environment**:

Your OpenProject Version: community

**Steps to reproduce:**

1.  Have two work packages in different projects
2.  Link from one work package to the other by the `#:id`  syntax
3.  Save
4.  Attempt to open the linked work package by following the generated link

e.g. [https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/work\_packages/30903/activity#activity-5](https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/work_packages/30903/activity#activity-5?query_id=1645)

### **Actual Behavior**

*   The link cannot be followed as the element is constantly redrawn (this should get fixed by [https://github.com/opf/openproject/pull/7635)](https://github.com/opf/openproject/pull/7635)
*   The link attempts to open the work package in the current project, where it is not found. This happens although the link displayed in the browser is project agnostic
*   No 404 error message is shown (would be a worthwhile fix in itself).

### **Expected Behavior**

*   Opening the link in the current page is possible
*   The link should lead to the correct url.
