Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Follow up to #8817

See #8802 (comment) for current problem:

UPDATE:

the original bug was fixed, but it seems that a new bug has been introduced: in the patched version it is now impossible to click external links on entries that have only one url...

How to reproduce:

1. load any library that has only one external link (URL or DOI) attached to some entry, or remove the 'url =' line from the "doi-and-url.bib" from this entry and load it;

2. left click on the web-link ("chained-link") icon;

The link is not opened in a browser.

Ugly Workaround:

I tried to reproduce this and I noticed that it is now possible to open a single attached identifier not by left-click, but by right-click. The right-click menu will open as well, but will close immediately.

Solution:

Allow to also open identifiers with left-click, when there is only one identifier attached to an entry. Retain functionality of opening the list-popup, when there are multiple identifiers linked to an entry.

@Rifat951 Can you please take a look? Maybe one needs to distinguish if there is one or two to open
