LinkControl Component enhancements

Hi @gh0stclaw

Yes, it is possible to extend the LinkControl component in Gutenberg or remove specific attributes from anchor tags in your case. Here are two approaches you can consider:

1. Extending the LinkControl Component: To extend the LinkControl component, you can create a custom plugin or add the code to your theme’s functions.php file. Here’s an example of how you can remove the data-id attribute from the anchor tags: javascript Copy code(function(wp) { var LinkControl = wp.editor.LinkControl; var el = wp.element.createElement; var __assign = wp.blocks.__assign; // Create a new extended LinkControl component var CustomLinkControl = function(props) { // Remove the data-id attribute from the link attributes var attributes = __assign({}, props.attributes); if (attributes && attributes.href) { delete attributes['data-id']; } // Render the LinkControl component with modified attributes return el(LinkControl, __assign({}, props, { attributes: attributes })); }; // Replace the original LinkControl component with the custom one wp.hooks.addFilter('editor.LinkControl', 'my-plugin/extend-link-control', function() { return CustomLinkControl; }); })(window.wp); After adding this code, the LinkControl component will be extended, and the data-id an attribute will be removed from the anchor tags.
2. Removing Attributes from Anchor Tags: If you want to remove specific attributes from anchor tags globally, you can use a filter hook called wp_targeted_link_rel in your theme’s functions.php file. Here’s an example of how you can remove the data-id attribute from all anchor tags: PHP Copy code function remove_link_attributes($rel_attributes) { $rel_attributes = str_replace('data-id', '', $rel_attributes); return $rel_attributes; } add_filter('wp_targeted_link_rel', 'remove_link_attributes'); By adding this code to your theme’s functions.php file, the data-id attribute will be removed from all anchor tags throughout your website.

Remember to use a child theme or custom plugin to make these modifications to avoid losing your changes during theme or plugin updates.
