[[ internal links | aliases ]] issue in tables' columns

Hey guys,

I’ve been making use of the great community plugin Advanced tables obsidian

At first I thought of this issue as a community plug in bug, so I created this issue on github internal links | aliases issue in tables’ columns

but then I realized this is a bug within obsidian.

Tony (the creator of the plug in) said he’ll do what he can to optimize the plug in for this use, but suggested I should report an obsidian bug.

With that said, here’s the issue described:

I discovered a bug when it comes to using links with aliases inside links. in the form of something like: [[2020-11-25|today]]

here’s an example table that works without any issues.

| day            | mood    |
| -------------- | ------- |
| [[2020-11-22]] | 5/5     | 
| [[2020-11-23]] | 4/5     | 
| [[2020-11-24]] | 5/5     | 
day mood
[[2020-11-22]] 5/5
[[2020-11-23]] 4/5
[[2020-11-24]] 5/5

but if I use this format [[2020-11-25|today]] with the | vertical line, the table confuses it for a table division line.

Expected Behavior

this is how I would like the table to format the last row.

| day                   | mood    |
| --------------------- | ------- |
| [[2020-11-22]]        | 5/5     | 
| [[2020-11-23]]        | 4/5     |
| [[2020-11-24]]        | 5/5     |
| [[2020-11-25|today]]  |         |

Current Behavior

but currently, tables split the today]] section into the wrong column.

day mood
[[2020-11-22]] 5/5
[[2020-11-23]] 4/5
[[2020-11-24]] 5/5
[[2020-11-25 today]]

Specs

Linux Manjaro XFCE
Obsidian 0.9.17
Advanced Tables Version: 0.6.2
