But now I want to ignore the string that is in [click here](...) Markdown

Answer

You can use

[click here](http[^()]*)(*SKIP)(*F)|(?:https?://)?(?:[^.]+.)?momento360.com/e/(.*)

See the regex demo.

Here,

• [click here](http[^()]*)(*SKIP)(*F) – matches [click here](...) substring and skips this match, starting the search for a new match at the location where the failure occurred
• (?:https?://)?(?:[^.]+.)?momento360.com/e/(.*) – matches an optional http:// or https://, then matches an optional sequence of any 1+ chars other than a dot and then a dot, then momento360.com/e/ string and then captures into Group 1 any zero or more chars other than line break chars, as many as possible.
