Fix MetaMask links not working from within Snaps UI

[hmalik88]

What is this about?

Currently, MetaMask link functionality only works inside of Snaps UI content that is inside of an expanded notification. The logic doesn't account for clicks of links inside of Snap dialogs. Clicking the link keeps you in the popup, because navigating to say the home page means that the home page component kicks you back to the pending approval (dialog). We need to add logic that will cancel the dialog if a user clicks the link and possibly emit an event letting the snap dev know that the dialog was cancelled because of a link visit.
