Inline reference with custom prefix expanded differently in LaTeX and HTML output

Bug description

Consider the following MWE:

---
title: "My title"
format:
  pdf: default
  html: default
---

# Section 1

See [TABLE @tbl-letters]:

| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
|------|------|------|
| A    | B    | C    |
| E    | F    | G    |
| A    | G    | G    |

: My Caption {#tbl-letters}

If you render it to PDF, the TABLE in the inline reference does not contain a hyperlink:

But if you render it to HTML, it does:

Steps to reproduce

See above

Expected behavior

Both versions should contain a hyperlink

Actual behavior

HTML output contains a hyperlink, but PDF output does not

Render the embedded MWE to both PDF and HTML, then compare how the custom-prefix inline reference is expanded in each output. The issue is done when the TABLE text in both outputs contains the expected hyperlink to the labeled table.
