Yes.  I don't mean in export, but in org-mode itself.  Since the second
line in the example starts with leading spaces, those spaces will be
formatted as part of the link (with a blue nuderline).  So Org correctly
recognizes multi-line links, it's just that the formatting in this case
is ugly.

#+begin_example
- [[https://orgmode.org][this
  link looks ugly]]
#+end_example

The same happens with underline formatting.  With bold or italic
formatting it does not happen because no visible change to spaces is
made.  For example

#+begin_example
  _formatting continues into the
  second line_
#+end_example

looks ugly as well.  Both because the leading spaces on the second line
are formatted and (arguably) because the newline at the end of the first
line is formatted as an underline as well (like a space).
