There seems to be an/some obscure, edge-case defect(s) in the link parsing of links nested inside nested brackets (both parentheses and square brackets).

Some examples:

1. txt1 (txt txt (txt)

   • txt1 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ("txt":https://www.example.net))

2. txt2 (txt txt (txt) )

   • txt2 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ("txt":https://www.example.net) )

3. txt3 (txt txt [txt)

   • txt3 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net])

4. txt4 (txt txt [txt] )

   • txt4 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net] )

5. txt5 (txt txt [txt).

   • txt5 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]).

6. txt6 (txt txt [txt

   • txt6 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]);

7. txt7 (txt txt [txt)

   • txt7 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]...)

8. txt8 (txt txt [txt]... ).

   • txt8 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]... ).

9. txt9 (txt txt [txt] );

   • txt9 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net] );

From the nine examples given above, only no. 2, 4, 8 and 9 render proper, usable output. The others mangles the second link one way or another.

This was observed while writing #39881.

Given the rarity of these formattings I wonder if this deserves much attention so I'll set a low priority.
