Describe the issue you are experiencing

When clicking on an automation on a device page, the entire frontend reloads instead of simply navigating to that page without reloading as other links do (for example, the link to the integration on that same page). This is noticeable because the initial load screen is visible.

I think the link is missing an event handler making it behave like a normal link?

(via: home-assistant/android#5074, the 'raw' link is treated as navigating away from the main app interface so opened in the device browser)

Describe the behavior you expected

The frontend navigates to the page without reloading.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services > Devices > [pick a device which is included in an automation]
2. Click on an automation in the 'Automations' section
3. [the frontend reloads]
