Bases "New" button matching view does not handle links correctly

The “new item matching base filters” button does not create links in new notes when links are used in the base filters.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a new Base “B”
  • Create a new note “N”
  • Create the property prop_txt as text
  • Create the property prop_multi as multitext
  • Set the filter to any of the following
    • Simple Filter
      • “prop_txt Is [[N]]
      • “prop_multi Contains [[N]]
    • Advanced Filter
      • prop_txt == [[N]]
      • prop_txt == link(this)
      • prop_multi.contains([[N]])
      • prop_multi.contains(link(this))
  • Embed B in N (![[B.base]])
  • Click the “New” button to create a new note that matches B’s filter

Expected result

The newly created note should have a property linking back to N - either prop_txt: "[[N]]" or prop_multi: ["[[N]]"] depending on which filter used.

Actual result

In every case, the property is created as just text and not a link - either prop_txt: "N" or prop_multi: ["N"] depending on which filter used. The “advanced filter” ones appear to suffix .md on the property values, so there is some indication that a link was utilized there.

Let me know if you still have this problem when you get 1.9.5 and if you do, attach a copy of B and N.

I can confirm the issue appears to be resolved as of 1.9.6. Thank you!
