Link Control - Add support for text only labels instead of relying on icons alone to communicate meaning.

Add support for text only labels instead of relying on icons alone to communicate meaning.

To see the current state toggle on the "Show button text labels" option under editor preferences:

---

The link control panel settings don't support the text control options. (Options > Preferences > Show button text labels)

@getdave RN I am just seeing a single icon in the Link Control. Do I have to add the support to change this icon to the label text?

👋 I'm not sure what RN means, but yes it needs to handle any icons shown and have a text based equivalent. I believe there is a standard mecahnic for this because the Gutenberg toolbars implement this pattern.

@abhi3315 Are you planning to work on this?

RN stands for Right Now 😅

@getdave Yes, I am looking forward to contribute this issue.

That's great to hear. Happy to review PRs. Thank you!

@getdave I have added this feature to LinkControl. But I have a query, the label uses aria-label to display the label. But in the case of LinkControl, the text is too big (Toggle link settings).

Should I change the aria-label to something like Setting or Link Settings?
And should I disable the tooltip when only labels are enabled?

And should I disable the tooltip when only labels are enabled?

Tooltips are also enabled for the other toolbar items so we can ignore this.

@getdave Please review the PR. #47930

Seems like this one was resolved with #47930 - I'm closing this issue, but feel free to re-open if needed.
