How to use custom platform request URI other than http:// or https:// ?

I have an app that takes a special platform request URL. Any web browser takes it and launch the app (toolbox).

<a href="toolbox://problem/000000001">ITEM</a>

When I set it as an external link from Splunk, it adds up default SPLUNK_URL b/c it does not find http:// or https:// in the url.

Expected:
toolbox://problem/000000001

Actual:
https://{{SPLUNK_URL}}/en-US/app/search/toolbox://problem/000000001

Is there a way to workaround this?

@jeilcoo, I tried this and it worked fine for me in Splunk Enterprise 7.0.2

    <drilldown>

Can you share the Simple XML you are using?
