Different behavior between automatic tool tips and manual tool tips

WordPress v. 6.8.2
CM Tooltip Glossary v. 4.4.9

In one page on my site, I used the shortcode that manually insert a tooltip ([glossary_tooltip term_id=”123″]). I noticed that the manual one is not a link to the glossary term page, even though the plugin option “Remove link to the glossary term page?” is unchecked.

I looked at the page html source in my browser and I could see that each tooltip is formed differently. Below is the page source html for a working tooltip (automatically created by the plugin) and a manual tooltip (created with the shortcode), with the glossary titles, definitions, and link replaced by plain text.

AUTO TOOL TIP HTML:

<a class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;GLOSSARY TERM 1&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;GLOSSARY TEXT 1&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;" href="LINK 1" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]' tabindex="0" role="link">GLOSSARY TERM 1</a>

MANUAL TOOL TIP HTML:

<span data-cmtooltip="&amp;lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&amp;gt;GLOSSARY TERM 2&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&amp;gt;GLOSSARY TEXT 2&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;" class="glossaryLink " tabindex="0" aria-describedby="tt" role="link">GLOSSARY TERM 2</span>

Is this intended behavior? I would prefer that the plugin output is identical whether the tooltip is created automatically or manually, but more importantly, I would like both to produce a link to the glossary term page. Is there a simple way to do that? Thanks!
