Disable spellcheck in URLs and links

Use case or problem

Links often contain text that’s flagged by spellcheck.
Since there sometimes is no option to correct it, the red underlining can be anoying.
example:

Proposed solution

It would be great to be able to disable spellcheck on links.
Either always, or a checkbox in the settings.

I also just came up with the topic on obsidian reddit.

Like so many features, I can’t believe its not already in. That must annoy many people. Especially when liking headings [[Site#Heading]]. This is guarantied to have a red line… I’m in disbelieve. (srsly, I can’t believe it, please tell me if I overlooked something(likely)).

The first example in this thread is not a link. Moved to help section.

This also annoyed me very much. I thankfully found a solution, but am not sure it was available at the time of your writing. It’s the plugin Spellcheck Toggler made by Julian Szachowicz. It does a lot more than toggling spellcheck, one of the features is disabling it for any type of link.

Hopefully someone will find this helpful! Though I still believe this should be available as a core feature.

The examples in the original post aren’t links, but links are spellchecked. (It’s hard to see in the URLs in my screenshot because they’re underlined.)

This may be a regression from Obsidian 0.75: Spellcheck should ignore links (I don’t know if that change applied to links, but in the case it definitely applied to — bare URLs — is now spellchecked again).
