Links with anchor is an URL but pointing to a different URL

[AkesiSeli]

About the issue

If a link anchor is an URL itself but the link actual URL is pointing elsewhere, when clicked the anchor address is opened instead of the actual link URL.

E.g. if I modify the sample text by adding the following line:

This is a paragraph with a tricky link [https://www.google.com](https://www.jetbrains.com/).

and I tap on the link, https://www.google.com gets opened. Instead, the expected behaviour should be to open https://www.jetbrains.com/.

Thank you very much for the report. It's going to be fixed in the next beta

Hey @mikepenz, this issue seems to still persist in v0.31.0-b04.

Markdown links are not behaving as expected.

The following Markdown inside the app sample incorrectly opens Google instead of JetBrains.

This is a paragraph with a link: [https://www.google.com](https://www.jetbrains.com/).

More relevant to my case:

This is a paragraph with a link: [www.jetbrains.com](https://www.jetbrains.com/).

results in the following error on Android:

Could not open the provided url: www.jetbrains.com // Can't open www.jetbrains.com.

since the wrong link gets parsed.

Thanks for all the work you are putting into this library!

Thanks for reporting it once more. When going to the new compose 1.7 withLink annotation, it caused issues one more given the parser parses the link text within the link as an AUTOLINK, resulting in double linking of the same link :D

will have it fixed in the next one by removing the AUTOLINK if we are already having it as link.
