Emacs hangs after searching and jumping to visible link

What happened?

While viewing a markdown file, In order to access a particular hyperlink - I always use SPC + s + l (to Search and Jump to visible link). I am on macOs Sonoma using GNU Emacs 29.1. Emacs just hangs at this point and stops responding. Switching to a different app (for checking about the issue) and bringing emacs to front is also taking a few seconds.

I have to kill emacs forcefully and abandon the search to continue using it without issues. This might be a one-off issue occurring only to me due to some config mistake on my part. Any guidance will be very helpful.

What did you expect to happen?

The buffer immediately highlights all the available links and provides keybindings to open any one of them.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open any markdown file
  2. Search and jump to any visible link (SPC + s + l)
