Add workaround for the issue with links
Links added by the extension to the Community Console recently started
being handled by the Community Console to load the view dynamically
instead of reloading the whole page. However, this introduced a bug for
links pointing to Community Console search pages, which sometimes took a
long time to load (see linked bug).
This change works around this issue by making the Console Community not
handle these link clicks, so they continue to work like before when
clicked (the page is loaded from scratch to show the search results).
