Currently when linking an “Unlinked Mention” by using the “Link” button that appears on hover in the “Backlinks” sidebar, Obsidian uses wikilinks.
I feel that it should observe the “Use Markdown links” setting in the editor that allows the user to set Obsidian’s auto-complete behavior from wikilinks to markdown links.
In my use case, the automated linking of “Unlinked Mentions” by using the “Backlinks” sidebar is of little value, as I need them to be markdown links and so still need to manually convert them from wikilinks to markdown links.
Wikilink is the standard format that Obsidian uses [[link to note]]. Markdown are the links specified by the Markdown standard [Some text](path/to/note.md)
