Current behaviour
Hi,
I use Outline to create links by right-clicking on headers:
The problem is that the link breaks when the checkbox state changes after link creation.
An issue about links and checkboxes was originally discussed in the Rich Markdown plugin (CalebJohn/joplin-rich-markdown#63), but for this actual problem, I tested with Rich Markdown disabled (and all my other plugins disabled too), and the same rendering issue occurs, so this may be a Joplin core bug.
Joplin generates anchor links by slugifying the heading text. [ ] and [x] are treated differently during this process:
## [ ] title → #title## [x] title → #x-title
So when I tick a checkbox (or untick it), any previously copied link becomes silently invalid.
Expected behaviour
Ticking or unticking a checkbox in a heading should not invalidate previously created links.
My idea for a solution
If checkboxes (ticked or unticked) in headings were ignored when generating anchors, the link would always work regardless of checkbox state, and it could also resolve this other issue: #15056 .
Workaround I'm currently considering
Only use unticked checkboxes in headings, and delete them when a task is finished (instead of ticking the box). I think it would work, but it's not as natural as ticking the checkbox.
Happy to provide any additional test cases or clarifications.
Thanks :)
