> "Don't click on [sketchy] links" is not a solution, and it's not something people actually do, it's just something they think they do.

And yet, there is currently no better solution I'm aware of, so that is what they must do.

"Just let anybody click and open anything" is not a solution, either.

It's not a solution, it's the problem statement.

If the solution you're suggesting is not a solution, then the solution I suggested (which is a solution) seems to be the best one we have at the moment.

> It's not a solution

It seems we're in violent agreement: neither of us think that "just let anybody click and open anything" is a solution.

That leaves us with the robust solution cited earlier: "Don't click on sketchy links".
