Copy link

Describe the bug
If I copy a link into a table cell, like [[my page title|the text to show]], it seems to work fine, but when I leave the note and come back to it, it's created an extra column with "the text to show]]" in it - it's interpreted the pipe "|" as a new column indicator.

Expected behavior
That a pipe used inside another markdown command (like, the page link) won't be interpreted as part of the table syntax i.e. won't create a new column.

Screenshots
In the first row with text, you can see the kind of link I'm trying to make, before it's been re-parsed.
In the next row with text, you can see that a similar link as been split into two columns.

I've found a workaround - use markdown style links, not wiki links ... but because my file names have spaces in them, I have to add <> around the file name, so like this:
[r2-at2](<R2 - AT2 - UX & CMD - Mon arvo>)

Also,
[[Self Study Notes#Heat Flux\\|Heat Flux]]
and
[[Self Study Notes#Heat Flux\|Heat Flux]]
does not fix the issue.
