 > But is it possible to filter the regex pattern with a WordPress filter?

 You mean, so plugins can remove it or make it insecure when they want to?
 Don't think this is a good idea :)

 As I replied to your other ticket, #40744, using shortcodes in HTML
 attributes is '''bad idea''' and is officially not supported. I know that
 it kind of works, which is unfortunate. However it is considered a bad
 practice. Look at the example in the ticket above: using a shortcode makes
 the URL invalid.

 I'm actually thinking we should add a filter/scan for similar shortcodes
 usage in the plugin directory and flag plugins that do it. Then perhaps
 show a warning on the plugins page that the plugin doesn't follow "best
 practices".
