Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I use classical markdown link syntax [the text I want to see on the link](the_filename.md). This syntax is more widely supported and notably by Pandoc, which I use a lot to create pdfs via LaTeX.

  • Currently Dendron refactoring doesn't affect these files. If I rename a note, the markdown links are not updated.
  • The hoover preview does not work on these links.
  • The ![[a_dendron_note]] does not work with a classical markdown link

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like that the classical markdown link syntax equipped with the same features as the wikilinks:

  • automatic renaming upon refactoring
  • hoover preview
  • embed note content using a syntax like ![text](markdown_file.md)

Thanks @mcaruel - it makes sense to treat markdown links the same as wikilinks for Dendron functionality. Adding this one to our backlog.
