Problem/Motivation

If a suggestion has a NULL in query string, LinkitFilter replaces with an empty string.

Steps to reproduce

This happens to me in the scenario of linking media when using Media Entity Download module.
I'm using the patch at https://www.drupal.org/project/media_entity_download/issues/3391565#comm... ✨ Compatibility with Linkit 6 Needs work .

LinkitFilter parses the URL, but str_parse converts any NULL value to an empty string, so something like media/2/download?inline is converted to media/2/download?inline= (see equals), which won't work as expected.

Proposed resolution

We probably shouldn't assume that any query arg with an empty string is equivalent to NULL, but I think it's safe to assume that any query string that was NULL and is now empty, should be NULL. Sadly I don't think there's a 100% safe way with str_parse.

Remaining tasks

We might want to add tests here. Guidance is appreciated.
