What happened?
Masked links using the `[label](<URL>)` form are rendered with their Markdown delimiters and full URL visible instead of displaying only the linked label. The attached image shows this affecting both iOS and Android repository links in the same message.
Acceptance criteria
- [x] A masked link formatted as `[label](<URL>)` displays only the label as clickable text.
- [x] The `<URL>` value and surrounding Markdown delimiters are not visible in the rendered message.
- [x] Multiple masked links using this format render correctly within the same message.
- [x] Activating the displayed label opens the URL specified by the masked link.
- [x] A bare angle-bracket autolink formatted as `<URL>` displays the URL as clickable text without showing the surrounding angle brackets, matching Discord.
