 * Thanks for making this plugin. I love the option. I wondered… now a link is a
   block. But would it be possible to add this functionality to an individual link
   like the Yoast plugin adds functionality like “no follow” to it?

 * I’ve been waiting for months if not years for someone smarter than me to come
   up with a way to easily add custom HTML classes to inline links, using the block
   editor.
 * Currently, if you edit a block’s HTML and then go back and forth between the 
   HTML and Editor view once more, the editor will almost certainly have removed
   the class …
 * Because turning a “note” into a “bookmark” can be done simply by adding a `u-
   bookmark-of` class to the “bookmark hyperlink.” And so on. (Certain microformats
   require more in-depth changes. Like, they might need an extra nested span or 
   so. But in very many cases, a custom class will suffice.)
 * But, alas. There’s a few issues over on GitHub, but they seem to be moving very,
   very slowly …
 * I looked into it a bit back then, maybe I should give it another try. I’ve found
   simply creating new blocks easier than messing with the “text formatting” toolbar.
 * Another benefit of “simply providing a block” is that using these requires _no_
   knowledge of HTML, at all.
