I’ve seen it be used in a few sites. but just breaking up the link should be easy enough. (And its not ambiguous, and it follows HTML spec. and it easier to implement)
I think a link should start with [ and end with ] pretty simple. all other methods would be ambiguous. (which was probably why html dissallowed it)
inline links are also not as easy for a human to read.
