Double parenthesis in links breaks Live Preview but works in Reading mode

Thanks for all your input. I will add percent encoding to the URL.

In case any other Kibana users stumble upon this, I have written this text-expander code to replace characters while placing in Obsidian

function urlEncodeObsidian(urlString) {
  const url = new URL(urlString);
  url.hash =
    "#" +
    url.hash.slice(1).replace(/[!'()*]/g, function (c) {
      return "%" + c.charCodeAt(0).toString(16);
    });
  return url.href;
}

urlEncodeObsidian("%clipboard");

Escape logic is from this stack overflow answer

This one only works with url hash, but I think it can be improved to add support for special characters in path also.

I also tried with ( style encoding which works for showing on Obsidian, but the URL is different enough that Kibana does not recognise it.
