@jasperhuangg what do you think - definitely a deploy blocker? I think this could be worked on externally, right?

[jasperhuangg]

Seems like a pretty minor bug and doesn't need to be a blocker

[jasperhuangg]

It looks like something that wasn't taken into consideration in #40200, I think we should get the author of the PR to fix this @bernhardoj

[jasperhuangg]

I don't think we need to treat this as a regression from #39496 (so we don't need to dock pay), since it wasn't originally included in the requirements for the issue it was solving #39496. But I think @bernhardoj should still fix it for the sake of consistency across all types of links.

@eh2077 reassigning, please take over as C+. If you don't have bandwidth, unassign yourself. Thanks. I see Reviewing here but unsure what the linked PR is

[bernhardoj]

@mallenexpensify this is a missing case from my PR, so we are handling it here

[eh2077]

@bernhardoj Can you also link this issue in PR #40625? So that we can track this issue together.

[eh2077]

Unassign myself since the fix PR #40625 is already ongoing.

[bernhardoj]

Done
