+>     * This is a list

+>             * And \[[this is a link|http://example.com]]

+>
+> * This is a list
+>     * So is this
+>         * And [[this is a link|http://example.com]]
+>
+> It's also assuming that Markdown is the only language available (trying to use Markdown
+> rules), and even in Markdown it doesn't support Github-style fenced code blocks if enabled.
+>
+> This is not something that can be done correctly by just patching the link plugin.
+> I'm not sure whether it's something that can be done correctly at all, unfortunately.
