I’ve experimented a little more, and still don’t know how to make links appear properly in top-level posts. Instead of doing a bug report, I request that someone who does get it to work explain what they do.
Also, Book Recommendations isn’t showing up as NEW, even though it’s there in Recent Posts. I thought there might be a delay involved, but the post for this thread showed up in NEW almost immediately.
It doesn’t use the same Markdown formatting as the comments, if that’s what you were trying to do. Instead, you select some text and click the link button in the WYSIWIG toolbar (two to the left of the anchor button).
I think I’ve got it now. Part of the problem was not realizing that it makes links blue and underlined in the edit window, but they aren’t live—they go live when the post is submitted, even to draft.
I don’t know what would cause that, but one workaround is to write the links in a regular comment, then copy-and-paste them into the WYSIWYG editor. The links should copy over correctly.

That button has gone dead for me. It used to work (produced a pop-up with two windows), but now there’s no reaction when I click on it.
Thanks.

This is not what I’d call an intuitive interface.
