Sure.  Planner should preserve any custom tags that you make.

Don't forget to surround the link with parentheses.  Yeah, that should
work.  When you save the file, Planner should propagate the task to
the partner page.

That should be ([[link 1]] [[link 2]]).

`planner-multi-copy-tasks-to-page' is a customizable option, not a
function.
