Automatic creation of backlinks from unlinked mentions affects existing links

Steps to reproduce

Make a file called baz with the following content:

[foo foobar bar](http://foobar.com)

Then make a file called foobar.

From foobar, open the backlinks pane and look for unlinked mentions

Expected result

Obsidian would observe how both occurrences of “foobar” in baz are either a label of an already defined link, or part of a url. These should never be changed into internal links.

Actual result

Automatically linking these have destructive behavior.

Environment
