Is there a reason why LocalUriHandler is not present outside of a window? e.g. this will throw "CompositionLocal LocalUriHandler not present".

private fun main() = application {
    LocalUriHandler.current.openUri("<https://google.com/>")
}

[Fergus Hewson]

It's a compose specific construct, anything local like that is held in compose. Try using PlatformUriHandler for outside of compose

Right, my point is though that application { } is a compose context. PlatformUriHandler is internal too, so there's no way to access it!

You should file Compose bugs under the “Compose Multiplatform” project, not “Kotlin”. I reassigned your ticket.
