If I use `Note Composer` to spin-off a header into its own file, links to that header do not appear to get updated. Is this a feature awaiting to be implemented, or am I missing something?

Right click on a heading to rename it across links.

Thanks. Right-click and renaming heading does update links. However, at least in my hands, right-click and `Extract this heading` does not update links, nor does using `Note Composer: extract this heading` from Palette.
