I am not sure I understand the issue?

Let’s say you have a note which includes this (with “embedded” as a link):

All these types of files can be embedded in a note.

When you click on the link in Live Preview Mode, it flashes to open the link to edit, as such:

All these types of files can be [[Embed files|embedded]] in a note.

It only then follows the link.

It’s the visual error of “opening the link to edit” before switching to the new note which constitutes the bug.
