OK, that sounds kinda like a nightmare.
Marking the bug as filed as INVALID since this is not a bug in the insert link
dialog: it's the two API modules it's using that return incomplete data, which
in turn is caused by the components they rely on not being variant-aware
enough. The two issues identified in this discussion should be filed as
separate bugs against core and Extension:TitleKey. Note that the issues you
mentioned may make them somewhat tricky to fix.
