// We don't want to apply link rule if match[1] contains the code block inside the [] of the markdown e.g. [```example```](https://example.com) or if match[1] is multiline text preceeded by markdown heading, e.g., # [example\nexample\nexample](https://example.com)

It seems possible that this is the expected behaviour as others have pointed out. However, if it's not expected behaviour, then how should the link be formatted?

📣 @rchrdschfr! 📣
Hey, it seems we don’t have your contributor details yet! You'll only have to do this once, and this is how we'll hire you on Upwork.
Please follow these steps:

1. Make sure you've read and understood the contributing guidelines.
2. Get the email address used to login to your Expensify account. If you don't already have an Expensify account, create one here. If you have multiple accounts (e.g. one for testing), please use your main account email.
3. Get the link to your Upwork profile. It's necessary because we only pay via Upwork. You can access it by logging in, and then clicking on your name. It'll look like this. If you don't already have an account, sign up for one here.
4. Copy the format below and paste it in a comment on this issue. Replace the placeholder text with your actual details.
   
   Format:

Contributor details
Your Expensify account email: <REPLACE EMAIL HERE>
Upwork Profile Link: <REPLACE LINK HERE>

@Ollyws can you review links and confirm if this expected behaviour as the others have suggested? Thanks

[melvin-bot]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[Ollyws]

Yeah this seems to be the expected behaviour as outlined in #23247
