It would be good if the text of the link were to be based on topic ID rather than the topic title, for times that the topic title is subsequently changed, eg Easier access to bookmarks đź”–.
Isn’t the link already working based on the ID? For me, the link still works, even after you added “post” to the title of the topic.

The link certainly is working.
By “the link” I was referring to the topic title which is displayed rather than the underlying URL. Sorry!
I’ve changed “the link” to “the text of the link” in my post above.

I don’t think I expect texts in posts to change just because a topic is renamed.
Do you also expect that my post is changed if you change the title of this topic because I added a link and typed in the title?
Link in “Split this topic” mini post?
[Link in “Split this topic” mini post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/link-in-split-this-topic-mini-post/400249)
The small action post is kind of the same:
17 posts were split to a new topic: [Unable to tell bookmarks exist in footer on mobile](https://meta.discourse.org/t/unable-to-tell-bookmarks-exist-in-footer-on-mobile/400160)
I am not sure if checking all posts if any of them contain a link and the old title is worth the effort, and I am also unsure if I would want my post to be changed. Maybe I still prefer the text I had written. If I wanted the title, I could have used the inline onebox Link in "Split this topic" mini post (https://meta.discourse.org/t/link-in-split-this-topic-mini-post/400249), which updates when the post is rebuilt.
If that happens with the “small action” posts then it would pretty much be what I’m asking for.
The only questions then are whether that does happen, when are posts rebuilt and how can we rebuild posts? Cheers.
I wasn’t thinking of that. More that when a topic title is changed and a “split” small action post refers to it then the displayed title be changed.
