toctree numbering not shown on external link entries

Question

I'm currently writing a technical documentation with Sphinx.

I use a numbered toctree. When I insert an external web link in the toctree the rendered entry does not contain a number.

For this toctree :

.. toctree::
   :numbered:
   :hidden:
   :maxdepth: 2

   Administration <admin/admin.rst>
   Usage <usage/usage.rst>
   Squash TM - Squash TF Link <tm-tf-link/tm-tf.rst>
   Download <https://squash-tf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/download.html#squash-tf-execution-server>

The "Download" entry has for result :

Does anyone has a tips for me ?

IMO this is a bug. I couldn't find [anything relevant in their repo](https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=toctree+numbered+url+), so I would suggest you create a new issue. — Steve Piercy, Feb 28 '19 at 19:57

This seems to be a bug as @StevePiercy mentioned. I just submitted a bug report on it here. A similar issue is this one. However, you can set the missing index manually.
