Research direction

Start by running the supplied Monaco Editor playground snippet and reproduce the link detection in the escaped JavaScript string. The issue names no source file or test, so trace the link-detection path from this playground example; done means the detected URL excludes the trailing backslash while the surrounding escaped string still works.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
