Resolve "Display non-markdown content in the WYSIWYG mode of the SSE::Identifiers (inline instance)"

Derek Knox requested to merge 227095-custom-renderer-identifiers-instances into master

What does this MR do?

It prevents editing of inline identifier instance syntax in the Static Site Editor's WYSIWYG mode.

Use case examples:
- Majority: two bracket pairs, back-to-back, each with content (including spaces)
  - `[environment terraform plans][terraform]`
  - `[an issue labelled `~"master:broken"`][broken-master-issues]`
- Minority: two bracket pairs the latter being empty or only one pair with content (including spaces)
  - `[this link][]`
  - `[this link]`

In a follow-up I'll be handling the unique case where inline code in the content section is possible.

In iteration, I can envision:

  • Our link button capable of handling these identifier links
  • Dedicated support for a UI for selecting existing or adding new identifiers
  • Rendering the actual link akin to the markdown link syntax `content
