Not only Doxygen does not recognize @linkplain. It also misunderstands it
for a misspelled {@link ...} without (expected) white space after "link"
issuing a warning:

warning: expected whitespace after javalink command

This is especially bad since resulting documentation not only misses the
link but also shows closing } from the {@linkplain ...}.

This issue was previously marked 'fixed but not released',
which means it should be fixed in doxygen version 1.8.16.
Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
issue if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant (preferably in the form of a self-contained example).
