Steps to reproduce
In the Sandbox vault, create a new page with the following properties:
---
plain_link: https://example.com
markdown_link: "[example.com](https://example.com)"
---
Expected result
In reading mode, both properties should render as clickable links to https://example.com . Clicking both links should open the web page.
Actual result
Only the plain link is rendered as a clickable link. The markdown link is rendered as a missing page.
Additionally, clicking the markdown link returns an error as though the user had tried to create a page with illegal characters.
