Images in link descriptions are not parsed

[link2xt]

This code:

[[https://example.com/][Image [[image.png]] in link description]]

produces this HTML:

<p>
<a class="text-amuse-link" href="https://example.com/">Image [[image.png</a> in link description]]
</p>

Emacs Muse also fails to parse it. pandoc can produce similar markup when converting from other formats, such as HTML.

This is low-priority, I just checked how text-amuse handles this since I fixed it in pandoc: jgm/pandoc@f807f5b

@link2xt I'm not even sure that the output produces something sensible in latex.

Links (including images) are not parsed again in link descriptions. If you permit [[image.png]], then it should permit [[image.png][sub-desc]] and the next step would be to have a full recursion, which it doesn't make sense to me.

Is there a legit use-case for this?

The only legit thing I can think of is something like [[https://example.com][image.png]] where the it should turn into a linked image, but that should be a special case, without involving a form of recursion.

Here is another example (link inside the image description) that is probably more common

[[image.jpg][Image from [[https://amusewiki.org/]]]]

Also doesn't work with Text::Amuse
