help: Link highlight group applies only to the icon

Description

I am trying to change the color of link text, but only the icon is changing color.

The colorscheme config I am using to set the highlight group (catppuccin):

        custom_highlights = function(colors)
            return {
                RenderMarkdownLink = { fg = colors.blue },
                RenderMarkdownWikiLink = { fg = colors.mauve }
            }
        end,

As best I can tell, these highlight groups should apply to the link text as well as the icon.

Output of :Inspect run on the unhighlighted link text:

Treesitter
  - @spell.markdown links to @spell   priority: 100   language: markdown
  - @nospell.markdown_inline links to @nospell   priority: 100   language: markdown_inline
  - @markup.link.label.markdown_inline links to @markup.link.label   priority: 100   language: markdown_inline

Extmarks
  - DiagnosticUnderlineHint nvim.vim.lsp.harper_ls.1.diagnostic.underline

So it seems as though the highlight group is not being applied to the link itself.

I have tried without obsidian.nvim and the same issue occurs. I'm mostly certain that this is user error, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong?
