Frontmatter highlighting in new prerelease doesn't render links or images

Features

Hey, I just downloaded the prerelease (3.6.3) to check out the new frontmatter highlighting feature. I have a few issues due to me admittedly not using valid YAML in my frontmatter. I often have links or pictures in my frontmatter, which isn't valid YAML, but helps me keep important info at the top of a note. Since the new update, these are only rendered as text, so the links aren't clickable and the pictures aren't displayed.

I just downloaded Obsidian for the first time to see how they handle it and they do have clickable links, although pictures also aren't rendered there.

Would it be possible to add the syntax highlighting while still rendering images and links or do I need to change the way I keep my notes?

Any advice for this? This would really disrupt my workflow if links and pictures aren't rendered in the frontmatter anymore.

Sorry, I read your post the other day but I don't think we can do much about it. We'd like to support standard Frontmatter as we don't want to overcomplicate it (YAML is complicated enough as it is). Maybe what you need is not really FrontMatter and instead you could have your own syntax or system?

Alright, I'll have to think about how I change my notes then. And see how I can still have it be compatible with my plugin that I built on the frontmatter syntax.
