`dunstctl action` is not working, but mouse click works

Triggering notification actions pretty much works exactly as you wrote it e. g. dunstctl action, dunstctl action 0 or dunstctl action 0 default all three trigger the default action of the most recent notification.

So what exactly are you looking for? What did you try and what happened that did not match your expectation?

This has to do with the fact that urls are not treated as actions. Right now it is not possible to trigger an url with dunstctl action. Maybe we can add it

I have some ideas, but maybe the simplest would be to wait for #1348. Then you could simply list the current notifications and extract the url.

Sorry for late reply. It seems like I have misinterpreted your problem. Actually I think that opening urls when no actions are available is the right thing to do, so I made a pr

Also note that adding default to the command does nothing
