How to insert a line break in a markdown hyperlink with GitHub Wiki?

The following works :

[abc <br> def](test.md)

Because of this issue I need to use MediaWiki hyperlink syntax, however the following does not work.

[[abc <br> def | test]]

Is there a solution ?

Hierarchy:

- Home Page
- Test page

Home page:

## Title

[test<br />page](Test-page)

Test page:

## Test page

[Back to home page](Home)

Custom sidebar:

* [Hello<br />page](Home)
* [test<br />page](Test-page)

Everything works smoothly except for the preview but as a link points to a specific page name without the extension (.md) and relative paths (./ or ../), these links will always work, you don't even need to preview them.

It seems like the only way to work around your specific case with Markdown Edit mode is to use syntax like this:

[abc <br> def](wiki/test.md)

Pay attention that the link doesn't work in preview mode. After saving the page the link will work correctly.

MediaWiki has inverted syntax for links, so this will work:

[[link to page | Link<br>text]]
