InDesign Crashes TFO With Hyperlinks in Footnotes And I'm Going Crazy

Since the version 20, InDesign has been struggling to deal with hyperlinks in the footnotes, which leads the app to crash. 

This topic is related here since the 2019 CC and it doesn’t get resolved.

It's been challenging to get work done with these kinds of problems. I’ve already reinstaled InDesign, disabled Windows Updates and One Drive, deleted preferences, and none of that seems to work.

Please, can someone give me a hint on how to deal with it?

Hello,

 

Does the issue persist across all InDesign 20.x versions, or is it tied to a specific update?

It persists in all versions. I was using the latest, but the support told me to install an older version and try. It worked for new documents, but my work file is now corrupted.
