Following a link

[Eddy Q227]

Notepad++ will create, what looks like, a link if you type something like “https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_http.asp ”. But when I click on it, it does nothing. I have tried Ctrl/Click, Shift/Click and Alt/Click. How do I follow that link?

You didn’t mention trying double-clicking it?

In addition is Clickable Link Settings Enabled ?
Can be found under Settings->Preferences->Misc.

I was presuming that the OP had this enabled, as s/he (probably a “he” – :-D ) said:

But yes, @Eddy-Q227 , if the link text does not appear with an underline in the text (and does not turn blue with a changed mouse cursor when you point at it), make sure the setting @Eko-palypse discusses is ticked.

I think you are right - it is probably already enabled.
