Using a link remounts the component, which means it no longer knows the current path. It's not able to compare it to the path in the link and say "oh yeah that's the same path, I'll keep the selection". We could add persistent storage but I strongly advise against it considering the time it would take, how many bugs it would add, and how trivial that issue is.

Ok, we just need to clairify that on the manual tests list
