It's not a bug, just a technical limitation. Marp's PPTX export has consisted with pre-rendered slides as background images, just as same as GitPitch. These images have no interactive informations like a hyperlink so you can never interact.

This limitation should be no problems for typical presenting because Marp has designed to output "static slides", but you should use PDF format if you want some hyperlinks. We treat PPTX export as just an auxiliary format. I'd like you to think it's the result after doing the best for PPTX generation.

If you really need to use hyperlinks in PPTX, we always recommend to convert exported PDF to PPTX. See #82 in "Frequently Asked" section.
