I've opened a topic in discussion and now I'm here to give the details seriously, so that maybe Keepass will notice the fault and fix it one day.
Keepass, by default, recognize the urls in the notes field and make them clickable (link); well, but if you don't want to open them with your default browser and you activate a global url override and/or check the option "Copy urls instead of opening them" the changes won't be seen on the notes field, but just on the url field. It looks like exactly if the URL in the url field is a thing and the URL in the notes field is another, and whatever you'll do to change the default action that is done when you click the URL no changes will be applied on the url in the notes.
Since Keepass recognize the url in the notes and made it looks like a link, maybe this won't be considered as a bug, but it is. It's no sense to make the url in the notes field looks like exactly like the url in the urls field if it's not handled with the same options.
My English is not good enough to explain the problem well, but since I believe that if Keepass devs want to understand they'll understand.
You can reproducing the problem itself by opening Keepass and start to use it

    URL overrides apply only to the the URL field. This is the intended behavior of URL (field) overrides. It is not a bug.

    "Copy urls instead of opening them" applies only to the Entry List pane. This is the intended behavior of the option. It is not a bug.

    Seehttp://keepass.info/help/base/autourl.html and https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/110436a9/#3850 for additional details.

    See my last three replies, exact this:
    https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/110436a9/#2e3b

    And I'll explain that this community sucks and how it was hard to find a solution to copy the URLs in the notes field on-click
    Have a fun on this forum
    Zascu Pgy, last name I've put random pressing the keyboard but can explain the community sense....
