I can confirm the issue. This is a regression, the code works as expected in this app:

https://samdobson-streamlit-sandbox-app-za85j0.streamlit.app

Which is deployed with Streamlit 1.15.2 at the moment of writing this.

Same issue with checkboxes - based on documentation the label should support links, but it doesn’t - i.e the following line doesn’t show correctly:
link = st.checkbox("this is a [link](https://www.google.com)")

I checked now in https://samdobson-streamlit-sandbox-app-za85j0.streamlit.app/, cannot create a checkbox with a link in its label

That is because the application has been rebooted and now it runs on streamlit 1.17.0.
