Description Wenson Hsieh 2023-04-29 13:47:08 PDT 
This can lead to misleading behaviors — for instance:

1. Let's suppose there's an editable element with a link `<a href="https://www.apple.com">www.apple.com</a>`.
2. Copy the plain text "webkit.org"
3. Select the editable link and paste.

Observed: the hyperlink persists with the same href ("https://www.apple.com"), but with the new text content "webkit.org"
Expected: either remove the hyperlink entirely (i.e. just the plain text "webkit.org"), or somehow replace the href of the link with "http://webkit.org".

Do we know if Blink has a bug on file to match this behavior?
