Internal Links with Alias not working inside tables

Steps to reproduce

Just create a new note ‘Test.md’ with this content:

# Test

[[Test]]
[[Test|Alias]]

| Table |
| --- |
| [[Test]] |
| [[Test|Alias]] |

Expected result

Both links should be working correctly.

Actual result

The link with Alias is broken.

Additional information

This is not a bug.

Put a \ before the |within the link - otherwise it is interpreted as being the end of the table cell (which then breaks the table as the number of cells per line don’t correspond anymore).

It’s also mentioned in the docs at the end of the table section.
