Request: hyperlinks kept when text converted to path
Migrated from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1788783
Steps to reproduce:
- Open sample file in Inkscape
- Convert text to paths
sample file
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 268 197">
<text y="1em">Text <a xlink:href="https://example.com">hyperlink</a></text>
</svg>
What happened?
Hyperlink is lost. Note copy and pasting text (not copying the whole object) also loses the a tag.
It seems that in path-chemistry, all elements that aren't text, flowtext, or groups are dropped on the floor.
What should have happened?
a
tag should be preserved.
Note that external links are part of the SVG 1.1 specs https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/linking.html#Links
Inkscape Version and Operating System:
