Using the glossary term role in code outputs

[tsalo]

I am trying to reproduce a mkdocs site with Jupyter Book, and one thing I am stuck on is linking to the glossary within code outputs. The site includes many tables and text sections that are generated with Python functions and converted to Markdown.
I initially had trouble making code-generated Markdown tables render correctly, but I got around that with the following:

from IPython.display import display, HTML
from markdown import markdown

# table is a pandas DataFrame
display(HTML(markdown(table.to_markdown(), extensions=['tables'])))

The table looks good, but terms within the table end up being converted to HTML.

For example, {term}`Manufacturer (metadata)` becomes:

I got around this by writing a function that replaces the <code> tag with backticks in the HTML string, before it's displayed.
Now, I get the literal string, rather than the linked glossary term:

The repository I am working on is bids-standard/bids-specification-ignore.

TLDR: Is there any way to include terms that will link to the glossary in code outputs (especially Markdown strings and tables)? Is there a more straightforward solution that I am missing?
