Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem from a Markdown file in preview mode, comparing a vscode-remote link with and without the :line:column suffix. Trace the vscode-remote URL navigation entry point and verify that a link containing row 3 and column 2 opens the target at that position without an error notification.
