Richtext component <> Link

What are the limitations for links within a RichText component in terms of the query parameters?

I encountered an issue when using links in a RichText component. For example:
• The following link works perfectly: [Whatsapp Flows are awesome](http://example.com/test?foo=bar)
• However, if I include multiple query parameters, like this: [Whatsapp Flows are awesome](http://example.com/test?foo=bar&test=me)

I receive the error:
Content cannot be parsed. Please check the 'text' property of RichText and validate that you are using the correct syntax.

This suggests that there might be a restriction on the use of multiple query parameters in the URL.

Can you confirm:
1. Is there a known restriction for URLs in RichText components?
2. Is the inability to handle multiple query parameters intended behavior? If so, what is the reason for this limitation?

@lacogubik any updates?

The issue lies in the Markdown syntax used to create links. The ampersand & has a special meaning in Markdown. It's used to separate multiple URLs or references. When Markdown encounters an ampersand in a URL, it tries to interpret it as a separator, which breaks the link.

To fix this issue, you can use URL encoding to encode the ampersand character. Replacing & with %26 fixes the issue:
"link"
