This annoyed me until I realized pandoc supports separating [the link text] from the link location.

  [the link text]: 
      "`title` parameter of the  tag, if converted to HTML"

I recall hearing about this as a low-probability potential side effect during the pandemic. What do you mean by "swept this under the rug"?
