fix(links): Jump to dedicated link targets - #1199

Conversation
Following a link to a dedicated target moved the cursor to the enclosing headline instead of the target. The link text was used as an unescaped Lua pattern and matched target names by prefix, so names with pattern characters were not found and similar names were ambiguous. Targets outside any headline section were not searched. Search the whole file for the first target whose name matches exactly and case-insensitively, and place the cursor on it, as Emacs does. Headline titles are still tried when no target matches. AI-assisted: Claude Code

I think that you should be able to re-run CI by yourself in case it fails. Also approvals means that you can merge it. |

Links to a dedicated target
<<target>>now jump to the target itself, as in Emacs. The whole file is searched for an exact match, with headlines as the fallback.Before, the link text went into a Lua pattern unescaped, matched by prefix, and only headline sections were searched. So the cursor landed on the headline above the target,
[[foo]]also matched<<foobar>>, targets with-or(in the name were not found, and neither was any target above the first headline.Specs cover the fixed behavior.
