click2load doesn't allow embed to load on click #708

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality by using the chat icon in the popup panel.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO Lite in the browser.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO Lite is the only extension.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

When loading a community made filterlist with click2load filters (or adding code from https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1377613397710229506#m) the function does work partially - it prevents embed to load while opening the page. However when clicking on it uBOL doesn't do anything. External link button is also broken, it just redirects user to click2load.html file included with the extension.

Filterlist in question: https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists/blob/main/click2load.txt

The same works as expected on uBlock Origin.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add code from https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1377613397710229506#m or import https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists/blob/main/click2load.txt
2. Open any affected URL

Expected behavior

click2load supposed to show a new embed instead of loading external player (like YouTube) and suggest to either proceed loading it or open it in new tab.

Actual behavior

click2load still shows a new embed, but it doesn't do anything on any interaction and it doesn't show an URL of embed
