Ran across this broken link here. Summit shows links differently to the webui, and probably also other apps. I think matching webui behavior is best here.

There seems to be more complex regex at play, including checking for matching brackets etc.. Probably best to dig that out of the sourcecode.

Examples:

Summit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)
Raw: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)
Webui: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)

Summit: https://example.org/aa(aa
Raw: https://example.org/aa(aa
Webui: https://example.org/aa(aa

Summit: https://example.org/aa(aa)
Raw: https://example.org/aa(aa)
Webui: https://example.org/aa(aa)

Interestingly while writing this, I noticed the rules for android long press text select also match webui behavior.

What markdown-it does is match parentheses across the path only. It makes sense to parse urls component by component, for example protocol and domain can't contain those characters anyway.
