Description

Empty links look bad and because the links don't do anything useful it's just annoying.

Quick fix: ignore empty links (so if there's a link but no actual text, don't display the link at all). In the general case this will be fine - a browser user wouldn't be able to click it either.

Longer solution (enhancement) - option to actually support loading them (do whatever Relay does).

Example link to ignore: [](/c01)

Research direction

Start by locating the link-rendering entry point and reproduce the example [](/c01). Verify how links with no visible text are handled, then make sure the empty link is not displayed while ordinary links remain unchanged; manually check the example and any relevant existing checks.
