Clicking on non-existing link target or deleted screenshot gives error

I know the way Minecraft currently acts in this case is correct but still maybe irritating for some.

When you make a screenshot, delete it and then click on the link in the chat you get this error message:

instead of any kind of feedback in the client or just a message that this file doesn't exist. (Which could be accomplished by just testing if this file exists before opening it...)

Sorry that the message there ("Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.") is in German, it basically means that the OS wasn't able to find the given file.

Not a duplicate. MC-31787 is about file associations and not finding the correct application for opening screenshots.

Might be invalid as you deleted the screenshot, else also the launcher is affected and maybe other parts of the game (for example resource packs)

The same happens also for the launcher, so should I report this as well?
