Typing "|" in note picker does not insert display text in internal link

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start entering a new internal link: [[Note name…]].
  2. Select a matching note with the arrows.
  3. Type “|” so as to validate the selected note and start adding custom text (like # does for headers, and like the message “Type | to change display text” seems to indicate).

Expected result

I was expecting the selected note name to be automatically completed, and | to be added afterwards, with the cursor ready to enter some display text. This is what # does (as is also indicated in the Note selector).

Actual result

Instead, | is displayed as if it was part of the note name, even though it apparently [cannot be part of a note name](Improve UX for adding custom display text to an internal link - #3 by dsteinbock.

Additional information

this is intentional and has been asked several times on the forum.

I failed to find anything. Do you have any pointer? I’m curious why the note selection dialog still indicates that one can type # (correct) or | (incorrect).
