If a list item ends with a link with special attributes, the special attributes are applied to the list item, not to the link

If you have a list item that ends with a link that has a special attribute:

• list item with link{target="_blank"}

The markdown processor applies the special attribute to the list item, not to the link.

list item with link

There should be a clear way to indicate whether you want the special attribute applied to the link vs. the list item.

Please use the external reference link if you want to explicitly give the link special attributes in the list

- list item with [link]

[link]: url "optional title" {target="_blank"}

Ah, OK, thanks! That does work.
