Of course. I'm just telling you how Org sees it.

It's less interesting because it implies backtracking. Anyway, as said
previously, just put your link on the line below, and the problem is
solved.

This is because tag matches to the last "::" in the line. Without that,
you cannot have "::" in a tag.
