Make GPX export+import use element "link" for POI website
Completed
I like very much the URL/Website element for POIs - I just need to tap on it and the website opens instantly, without any typing :-) Unfortunately, during GPX export+import in v 2.10.2, the POI website information is not written to / read from WPT child element "link", but it`s rather written to a piece of HTML inside desc element.
=> Hence, GPX files originating from any other software loose their URLs during import to Locus, and GPX files exported from Locus do not fill the URL in other softwares. I always need to edit the files in a text editor.
=> Please make GPX export+import use element "link" for the POI website
I like this idea 
Cool, in v2.15.0 a file exported as v1.1 GPX contains the link element! :-)
But sadly, a tiny bug has big consequences, i.e. makes the file nearly unusable: The created file is invalid as it contains unescaped ampersand symbol (&) in the URL within the href attribute of the link element - just escape it as & a m p ; and it
works fine.

Just to confirm, import & export of links with ampersand symbol working fine in v2.20.2 :-)
