The difference itself comes from analysis-api, it doesn't resolve such links.

So, ideally, this needs to be fixed in analysis-api, but it looks like we can add a workaround on our side, so we are not blocked by it (yet).

See #3385 (comment) and the definition of a link

Accidentally noticed that IDEA (K1) actually proposes these links in autocomplete, but doesn't resolve it.

Initially mentioned that it fixed in ~1.4.0: #373
