Models cannot be compiled from within a jupyter lab notebook #885

Description

I tried to use orbit models from within a jupyter lab notebook and I get the following error:

ValueError: Failed to compile Stan model '[/home/johann/software/anaconda/envs/sipfront/lib/python3.11/site-packages/orbit/stan/lgt.stan](http://localhost:8888/home/johann/software/anaconda/envs/sipfront/lib/python3.11/site-packages/orbit/stan/lgt.stan)'. Console:
make: *** No rule to make target '[/home/johann/software/anaconda/envs/sipfront/lib/python3.11/site-packages/orbit/stan/lgt](http://localhost:8888/home/johann/software/anaconda/envs/sipfront/lib/python3.11/site-packages/orbit/stan/lgt)'. Stop.

Command ['make', 'STANCFLAGS+=--filename-in-msg=lgt.stan', '[/home/johann/software/anaconda/envs/sipfront/lib/python3.11/site-packages/orbit/stan/lgt](http://localhost:8888/home/johann/software/anaconda/envs/sipfront/lib/python3.11/site-packages/orbit/stan/lgt)']
	error during processing No such file or directory

It seems that when running in a notebook, orbit uses a markdown link instead of the actual file path in the make command for compiling the model. Since this is a situation that should be easy to detect, it should also be easy to fix and avoid.
