Softwrap at words for Markdown editing

Hi nano fellows,

I am often editing Markdown texts in an 80 columns wide terminal using nano with --softwrap. Due to the fact that many URLs these days are longer than what easily fits 1 line, quite often we see Markdown links produce quite some empty space. Like e.g. after "[This" in

  [This
  example](https://www.this.example.org/archive/2024/long-...-url)

I think my personal preference would be to see a softwrap between `example]` and `(https...`

Am I right that nano cannot do this currently because --atblanks wraps at blanks only and there is no option to make nano wrap at punctuation, "wordbounds" or "wordchars"? Or did I miss something?

Am I a weirdo to use nano in a terminal for Markdown editing? Or is that a not so uncommon use case?
