Link can not include &

Dear Mr/Ms
I find & cannot be used in link in column_spec(), which will be used for two or more key words in URL.

Example
kableExtra::kbl(mtcars,) |>
kableExtra::kable_paper("striped") |>
kableExtra::column_spec(2,link = 'https://www.google.com/search?q=ggplot&newwindow=1')

Error information:

Error in read_xml.raw(charToRaw(enc2utf8(x)), "UTF-8", ..., as_html = as_html, :
EntityRef: expecting ';' [23]

Your Best

Begin by reproducing the example using column_spec(2, link=...) with a URL containing multiple query parameters, then inspect how the link is handled before read_xml.raw reports the EntityRef error. Done means URLs containing '&' work in generated tables without the XML parsing error.
