Backlinks doesn't recognize aliased internal links in callouts

Steps to reproduce

Open Sandbox. Create two new notes.

Note bob.md contains a callout with an aliased internal link:

> [!quote] x
>
> Bob is a [[Labs|Labradoodle]]

Note labs.md contains an alias:

---
aliases:
  - Labradoodle
---

Labradoodles are cute.

Open core plugin Backlinks in sidebar and check linked and unlinked mentions for labs.md.

Expected result

The backlink should show up in “Linked mention” and look like this:

> Bob is a [[Labs|Labradodle]]

The whole Link should be highlighted.

Actual result

Three(!) backlinks show up:

  • Unlinked mentions with two partial recognitions
  • Linked mention with the first line of the note

also experiencing this.

found this post via Internal Link Updates Fail within Titled Callouts. the problem in this post seems to only happen when the callout has a title

Same for the bug here. I tested it:

Without title backlinks are ok. Adding the title makes them weird.

thanks

will be fixed 1.6.4.
