]

2. Start VSCode

I just tested this but it seems to work for me. Can you please share an example where it does not work?

markdown filesystem links like:

• [foo](./foo/foo.md) (should open foo.md in the same preview tab)
• [bar](./bar/bar.js)(should open bar.js in new editor tab)

worked yesterday* in the markdown preview, but not anymore with:
