Navigation Link: Handle rich text better in the label

[scruffian]

What problem does this address?

When navigation links contain formatting, this gets displayed in the label as HTML.

What is your proposed solution?

I'm not sure, but we need to find an input that allows formatting.

LinkControl handles this already I think. Maybe we should look at how that works?

My first thought is to build a rich text input :) that looks like a TextControl but supports displaying formatted text. It is possible but a bit weird.

Link Control just ignores formatting. It was a compromise we settled on.

@getdave it doesn't ignore it, it removes it - but i can't see any better way either :D

The "better way" might be to just replace the inspector controls with the Link UI

Yeh but the simplest next step is to ignore it.

I would recommend reviewing a similar discussion which occurred here between Joen, Ella and myself. It has a lot of good research and discussion.
