Annotation: entity-type giving broken link

There is a broken link in an Annotation at https://musicbrainz.org/release/a1d00d1d-bdc8-45c7-81d1-5c15847fce10

" Artist attribution appears somewhat similar to that on
Music for Millions: Vol 1(1989 King Disc label, big band release) in that a song"

Is this my error or a designed feature?

Swap “entity-type” to “release” and the link will work.

[release:ef4a2840-de64-4d4c-a446-4e3e3da7301b|Music for Millions: Vol 1(1989 King Disc label, big band release)]

What the instructions means is to name the type of thing of your link. Basically trimming the “type of entity” from that original URL you copied the MBID from.

https ://musicbrainz.org/release/ef4a2840-de64-4d4c-a446-4e3e3da7301b

That “release” word is the entity type. This works with many of the MB URLs that point at things (though not all)

Yes, tried it in the preview, it works as release.
The editor had copied the syntax example without fully editing it.
