-- this pattern works for most cases
-- - works: survival 4, [[survival 4]] (matches and world names, both if on their own and if already linked, handles it as it should)
-- - doesn'T work: [[Grand Central Station (Survival 4)]] produces [[Grand Central Station ([[Survival 4]])]] - if the search term is inside a bigger link already,
-- it will double link it
-- - this is also case sensitive, but that can probably be solved
