Did some more poking around for options that wouldn't noticeably affect formatting- the one that seems to work on everything I've tried is embedding &zwnj; (zero-width-non-joiner)- used for controlling ligature behavior, so should be a no-op in most interesting cases that get auto-linked with URLs, PR numbers, etc.

https:&zwnj;//example.com -> https:‌//example.com
ansible/ansible#&zwnj;83065 -> ansible/ansible#‌83065
