Description
### Is this a hackmd.io issue?
- [x] Yes, the bug happens on https://hackmd.io
- [ ] No. If it's a self-hosted CodiMD instance, please fire up the issue in the repo of CodiMD: https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd
### What's the problem
Some time ago (a year or so), it was possible to use "name" blockquote tag to point a source of a quote as a clickable URL, e.g. `>[name=[foo](http://www.bar.org)]`, now it can't be properly parsed at all (please see screenshot below).
Now it is possible to use a URL in the "name" blockquote tag to point to a source, e.g. `>[name=`. It will not be properly parsed and will not work as a link, but at least it will change its own decorations. But if your blockquote has a few paragraphs, it also could not be properly parsed, but not in 100% cases (please see examples below).
#### Current behavior

Steps to reproduce link error:
1. Write blockquote
2. Try to use 'name' tag as a link, e.g. `>[name=[foo](http://www.bar.org)]`
3. See error
Steps to reproduce url error:
1. Write blockquote
2. Try to use 'name' tag as a link, e.g. `>[name=`
3. See error if your quote blog is long enough

#### Expected behaviour
Proper markdown parsing in all cases.
