I've been looking forward to Quarto's stand-alone Visual Editor as a pandoc-friendly multi-line table supporting editor. However, it rewrites my carefully specified reference links and they wrote:
> We currently aren't able to support reference links because when Pandoc parses the page they are all resolved into "real" links (i.e. the Pandoc AST doesn't have the concept of a reference link, and since our editor is really editing the AST not the markdown text, there isn't any way for us to read or write them).

Has any thought been given to this?

This is all true, yes. Pandoc was not really designed as a reformatter. commonmark-hs could be the basis for a more flexible reformatting tool.
Could we change the AST so it explicitly represents reference links as such? In theory, yes. But this would be quite a big change, and potentially very disruptive. Also it must be remembered that most of the formats pandoc supports don't have the notion of a "reference link."

Thank you John. Keeping in mind that pandoc is not a reformatter, I nonetheless have occasion to want to convert from markdown to markdown and one other nuisance is my (HTML) comments get quoted and labeled as such in the process; I then can't un-comment them with a single keyboard shortcut in my editor. Is there a way to keep HTML/markdown comments with quotes and label?

Sorry, I meant "without quotes and labels".
