 * Hi there, I have a feature request for an option for adding a shortcode to a 
   button block like the URL option. I’m using a modal login plugin, and it has 
   a shortcode.
 * If I add the shortcode in a shortcode block, it will only render a link which
   then will open the modal login page on activation. But it’s a link, not a button,
   so it will need styling.
 * That’s why a button which could activate a shortcode link directly like the url,
   would be a smart option. I hope this request makes sense 😉
 * Thanks!

 * Hi there,
 * I’m not sure if this is possible in the block editor, but I’ll definitely research
   it a bit, as it would be useful.
 * Thanks!

 * Glad to hear, that you can see the usefulness of this, and will give it a thought,
   looking forward to see what you can come up with 😉
 * Thanks!
