The current behavior

The link button in the toolbar is inactive, a floating text toolbar is displayed

The expected behavior

The link button should be active and the link menu should be shown if the anchor and focus from selection are set to an element with a LinkNode or any other element that contains only LinkNode inside. The same as if only a part of the text were selected, not the entire element

Impact of fix

The floating toolbar and the static toolbar at the top should show the active state of the buttons, taking into account the selection of entire elements, and not just the text, otherwise it misleads the user
