Pasting link to Sharepoint Online doc into bug comments field doesn't work

We often use a Word doc in Sharepoint Online to gather info related to a bug, and we paste the URL to that document in the Raygun crash report comment field. Unfortunately it looks like the Markdown parser doesn't like the format of that URL, which is like:

https://oursubdomain.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/oursite/layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc={guid}&action=editnew

... I think the curly braces in the URL are tripping up the markdown editor, because I get a blue "No options found" text in the editor after I paste that link in. The result is that the URL up to the opening { becomes an (invalid) link, and I need to copy & paste the whole line manually into a browser to get to the document from the issue.

Hi there.

I have added this to our issue backlog so that it may be worked on in the future.
