Steps to reproduce
This is just an issue with the api and nothing I encounter in Obsidian itself.
Create a markdown link like the following in start.md in the root of your vault.
[myText](file.md)
Run app.metadataCache.getCache("start.md").links.first() in the console. Notice that the link exists in metadata cache, but the displayText is empty.
Expected result
ReferenceCache.displayText is set for markdown links.
Actual result
ReferenceCache.displayText is empty for markdown links.

Additional information
I need this for my plugin Sort and permute lines. I didn’t notice this myself, but someone already proposed a fix here. It’s not very hard to solve this on my side, but I think it would be great if the link cache works for both wiki and markdown link.
