[Bug] Tracked Downloads in RealTime displays not URLDecoded

[1tchy]

What happened?

When I track a download from my users which url contains for example an "&", it is not linked correctly in RealTime views. It is URLEncoded (became an "&"). This leads to links I can't follow from Matomo.

A link like
https://example.com/download.pdf?a=b&c=d
would become
https://example.com/download.pdf?a=b&c=d

What should happen?

Clicking the download icon on "real-time displays" should not urlencode the url so I can open it.

How can this be reproduced?

1. Find/Create a link on the website which contains an "&" character.
2. Matomo tracks it correctly (you can see and click it with the "&" in visitor logs and the downloads actions site)
3. On the real-time widget on the dashboard and the real-time page under "visitors":
   3.1. The url on the popup when hovering over the download icon looks correct (with the "&" character)
   3.2. When clicking the download icon it tries to open the download link but replaces the "&" with "&"
