In edit mode: Ctrl+Click on filename in edit mode should open also link in standard markdown format [local title](filename), not only [[filename]].
I appreciate, it already works for external links when the protocol is specified. E.g. to external application “TheBrain” in format [](brain://...).

Edit 2022-01-07:
From Markdown link [titles](not only URLs) should be clickable in edit mode - #2 by malecjan :

This has been finally implemented in Obsidian v0.13.6.

Implemented Ctrl/Cmd+Click on markdown links.

It is mentioned under Live preview improvements but it works in legacy editor too. (tested in v0.13.14)

Additional requests: It should work also when “filename” is full absolute or relative path. When filename contains extension which is not “.md”, Then it should open the file in default application. Requirement to specify “file:///” looses the elegance of concise markdown format.
