An item bullet followed by two colons is a special syntax in Org. It has
precedence over the link.
Besides saying "don't do that", the usual trick is to insert a zero
width space between the two colons.

I am aware of the meaning of "::". Is this a design decision or an implementation constraint? My intuition, obviously wrong here, is that link, being a special kind of object, should have priority over what amounts to a formatting command.
Thanks.

- ... :: is also a special kind of syntax. It starts before the link
(and being a block element, it even has priority over link).
Have you tried the solution I gave you?
Regards,
Yes, that works for the example I quoted. The source of the original "::" is org-mac-link, not my typing. Maybe that could insert a different character sequence to avoid any confusion.

Maybe that could insert a > different character sequence to avoid any confusion. I had a look at org-mac-link.el but could not figure out what was causing this. org-mac-link.el lives in https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-contrib and we make no promise on whether it's compatible with Org's core. I'm closing this now. -- Bastien
