Description

Is there a way to code-format the text of a link? I've tried the following options in the playground, and they didn't work.

/**
 * This is a {@link http://test.com | `link`}.
 */
/**
 * This is a `{@link http://test.com | link}.`
 */

Is this use case currently supported?

Research direction

Start by reproducing both examples in the playground and inspect how code formatting and {@link} syntax are parsed. Determine the intended behavior for code-formatted link text and whether the specification or parser must change; the issue is complete only when the behavior is decided and documented or implemented with coverage for the reported examples.
