Ill-formed markdown link with Extract to link definition

[memeplex]

• VS Code Version: 1.87.0
• OS Version: macOS Sonoma

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Lorem <https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown> dolor
   

2. Extract to link definition

3. Lorem <[ipsum]> dolor
   
   [ipsum]: ttps://daringfireball.net/projects/markdow
   

Two issues:

• <[ipsim]> the angle brackets are wrong
• ttps://daringfireball.net/projects/markdow first and last characters are missing

On a side note, I would like to ask for:

• Either the ability to paste a link as a reference + link definition
• Or that Extract to link definition works on bare urls without the angle brackets

The reason is that inline links make the text hard to read so I usually paste urls from the web as link definitions, but it's repetitive and error prone work (the reference has to be typed twice or copy&pasted, may end up broken). Even if the reported bug were fixed, I would have to add angle brackets to every url just to be able to take advantage of the refactor.

Given that you already support:

and that the highlighting of bare urls is like the one for links (although not the textmate scope) I would say that the best option is to treat bare urls as proper links for refactoring purposes.
