I looked at Facebook quick replies and it seems it is not possible to open a URL from those as well, so this leads me to believe that it will not be possible to open a URL with suggested actions on the Facebook platform either. In addition to rich cards mentioned above, you can also send links in the text generally in markdown for most channels. I will double check with the team and confirm that this is not possible on Facebook and update this answer if I find out differently.

We are now tracking this internally and will look into making it possible, no timeline to report at this time.

I'm guessing it is an issue as the issue is reported on github and also in stackoverflow. Maybe you can use a herocard instead of suggested action.
