Link backtick processing seems subtly broken

Describe the bug

When given a string like this...

**Really weird edge case: bold around what looks like it might be a link, but is actually a link-looking thing with a code specifier in. [Like `this](https://github.com)`. It's now impossible to close the bold**. <https://git`hub.com>

...marked seems to correctly parse that the original linked-looking thing is actually a codespan. However, at some other stage, it also decides that the backtick after the link is part of another codespan connecting to the one in the middle of the autolink, which prevents closing the strong element.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. marked
2. CommonMark

Expected behavior

This should be parsed as a strong element with a codespan inside, followed by an autolink. Right now, it's parsed as regular text including a codespan element.

hi @UziTech I've submitted a PR: #3779. Please review it and let me know if anything needs changes.

@UziTech, Created PR #3780 to fix this issue.

Hi @UziTech,

I see you closed PR #3780. I tried to address the feedback about the 50-character limit issue in my last commit by removing the limit entirely, but the PR was closed before I could get confirmation that this resolved the concerns.

Could you help me understand:

1. Was there still an issue with my final approach after removing the character limit?
2. Are there other problems with the solution that I missed?
3. Would you prefer a completely different approach to fix this backtick parsing issue?

I want to make sure I understand what went wrong so I can either fix this PR or submit a better one. I'm committed to solving this issue properly.

Thanks!

Removing the limit made it so your change no longer passed your new test. The solution to this will have to be something very different.

this was fixed in 16.4.0
