When I do the following:

[Link to video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt9MP70ODNw)

I don’t get a link like this:
Link to video

I instead get this:
Link to video

It looks like the YouTube embed logic is firing, swallowing the link anchor, and just embedding the video.

sorry this is “working as intended” but i can probably work around it in some cases (like if you specify alt text idk)

Understandable. I don’t often want/need to do this.
