Brackets in the title of an External Link, it will not show Heading Anchor option

Steps to reproduce

If you have a file named “[Logic] Theme Reveal”, and then in a separate file, I create an external link to [Logic] Theme Reveal, [[[Logic] Theme Reveal], then I attempt to Heading Anchor or even archor it to a keyword, it will not pop up the suggested headers/keywords. If you type in entirety of the specific header correctly, it will link to the header.

Additional information

While OSes allow these, if you want to use Obsidian’s linking features, these characters are forbidden in file names:

I think that’s likely the issue.
