Joplin has two ways of editing. One is the "Markdown editor" where you have two panes; one with the markdown code and one showing the rendered view. The other is the "Rich-Text Editor" where you edit and display the rendered note in the one window (WYSIWYG).

According to this post, _if you are using the rich-text editor_ you activate the link by pressing `CMD` and left-clicking it (`CTRL` left-click on Windows).
