Might be worth adding some doc blocks to introduce the why behind some of this...nothing too major, just to help those new to the code.

// [TEXT](DESTINATION)
var generalLinkRe = edit(/^!?\[(label)\]\((.*?)\)/)
.replace('label', inline._label)
.getRegex();

function unwrapCarats (str) {

Carets?? Carat and carrot are different. :)

Angle brackets might be most appropriate if I'm reading the regex correctly.

Haha I was wondering if I was spelling that right. I'll switch to AngleBrackets anyway.

if (str.match(/^<.*>$/)) {
str = str.substr(1, str.length - 1);
}
return str;
}

var fullMatch = generalLinkRe.exec(s);
if (fullMatch) {

Can you flip this so that the if statement is smaller:

if (!fullMatch) {
  return null;
}
// ... split and such here
return [fullMatch[0], text, destinationAndTitle[0], destinationAndTitle[1]];

var text = fullMatch[1];
var destination = fullMatch[2];

var m;

var destinationAndTitleRe = /^([^'"(]*[^\s])\s+(['"(].*['")])/;
if (m = destinationAndTitleRe.exec(destination)) {
// <destination> -> destination
var dest1 = m[1].trim();
dest1 = unwrapCarats(dest1);
var title1 = m[2];
return [fullMatch[0], text, dest1, title1];
}

var destinationRe = /^(<?[\s\S]*>?)/;
if (m = destinationRe.exec(destination)) {

The two if blocks are nearly identical. Can you make a common function for those? Something like this:

function getMatch(r, fullMatch) {
  var m = r.exec(fullMatch[2]);
  if (m) {
    var dest = unwrapAngleBrackets(m[1].trim());
    var title = m[2];
    return [fullMatch[0], fullMatch[1], dest, title];
  }
}

Agree, but not a deal breaker for my review.

@styfle See ba2fc13

// <destination> -> destination
var dest2 = m[1].trim();
destination = unwrapCarats(dest2);

destination is assigned but never used. Is this intentional?

Nope. Will fix.

var title2 = '';
return [fullMatch[0], text, dest2, title2];
}
}
return null;
}
},
reflink: edit(/^!?\[(label)\]\s*\[([^\]]*)\]/)
