My understanding is that the Org 9.3 changes were about moving away from
the percent-encoding that Org used to avoid "[" and "]" in the link.  It
looks like the URL you're showing above should be left as is because it
is the usual URL percent-encoding, without the pre-9.3 Org
percent-encoding on top.
