I expect to get a table, where there is an abbreviated internal Link in cell 2,2.
Actual result
The | from the internal link is processed as table code for a new column.
The internal Link is not displayed and the table is broken.

Thanks, that works but feels more like a workaround. Since most of my links are created using the backlink plugin, I have to check all the created links for their position in tables and adjust manually.
There exists a problem. If I automatically create a backlink it gives me the option to create a backlink within that backlink. This behavior vanishes once I insert the \| in the backlink.
Maybe the backlink plugin could detect that the created link is situated within a table and insert the | automatically?
That will have to be for a discussion with the plugin author and how «smart» they want to make the plugin …
As it is, there will always be issues of some sort – neither tables nor wikilinks are a part of Markdown so Obsidian’s parser has to make a best guess about which characters get priority in which order
