Attachment not found with [[ ]] and space in path

Bug graveyard
1

tl;dr:

When referencing an attachment, the following format does not work
![[attachments/Hemlock%20Underleaf/Untitled.jpg]]
But this format does
![](attachments/Hemlock%20Underleaf/Untitled.jpg)
The issue is a combination of the ![[ ]] reference (as opposed to ![]()) and the space in the pathname

Steps to reproduce

When referencing an attachment, the following reference does not work
![[attachments/Hemlock%20Underleaf/Untitled.jpg]]
