If you link to an entry/category, or load an image in a Rich Text field, the URL is supposed to get converted to a reference tag on save, but that isn’t happening; the URL is just getting stored directly into the DB, including the ref tag URL fragment at the end:
<p><a href="http://craft3.dev/news/the-future-of-augmented-reality#craft\elements\Entry:24">The Future of Augmented Reality</a></p>
Looks like this is because the full element type class names are getting added, rather than their ref handles, so it’s not matching the ref tag regex.
