feat: on link press for input

[eszlamczyk]

What/Why?

Closes #381

Adds an onLinkPress callback to EnrichedMarkdownTextInput, making links pressable while the input is not focused - the notes-app model: reading opens links, editing edits them.

Providing the callback gates the whole behavior - no extra prop needed:

• Not focused — tapping a link fires onLinkPress({ url }) and consumes the tap: the input does not focus and the keyboard does not open. Tapping anywhere else focuses as usual.
• Focused — taps behave natively (cursor placement, selection); links are inert.
• No callback — behavior identical to today: every tap focuses the input.

Fires for manual links, mentions, and auto-detected links (store + transient detector ranges).

Always-pressable (Apple Notes-style) was considered and rejected: while editing, a tap means "place the cursor here", and hijacking some taps to open URLs mid-edit fights the platform text-editing gestures. Unfocused-only gives each mode one unambiguous tap meaning.

Implementation notes:

• JS - internal isOnLinkPressSet prop (same pattern as isOnChangeMarkdownSet): under Fabric, event handlers never reach native as props, so native needs the flag to know it should consume taps rather than just emit.
• iOS - UITextInteraction's internal recognizers can't be reliably beaten with gesture failure requirements, and they delay raw touch delivery (touchesBegan never fires for a focusing tap). Instead the touch-down is tracked in hitTest:withEvent: (the one synchronous step UIKit can't skip) and the press is resolved by vetoing textViewShouldBeginEditing: - guaranteed to keep the keyboard closed. Long-press/drag
  guards (0.5 s timeout) keep selection gestures working. macOS: handled in mouseDown: before first-responder assignment.
• Android - tap candidate tracked in onTouchEvent (slop + long-press timeout); on UP over a link, super gets ACTION_CANCEL instead of the UP, so pressed state and pending focus/click callbacks are cleared. Hit-testing reuses the bounds-checked offset logic from fix(android): prevent false link hit detection for taps outside text bounds #523, extracted into a shared charOffsetAt (TextTapUtils.kt).
• iOS also gains ENRMCharacterIndexAtPointStrict — a bounds-checked hit test mirroring the Android fix(android): prevent false link hit detection for taps outside text bounds #523 fix, so taps past a line's end don't false-positive on the nearest link.

Testing

In the example app Playground, set content with a link (e.g. via Set Raw Markdown: [link text](https://reactnative.dev)), keep the input unfocused and tap the link → alert with the URL, input stays unfocused. Tap plain text → input focuses. While focused, tap the link -> caret placement, no event. Blur and tap the link again -> event fires.

Pull request overview

Adds an onLinkPress callback to EnrichedMarkdownTextInput so links are pressable when the input is not focused (notes-app style), while preserving native editing behavior when focused. This introduces a small cross-platform touch/hit-testing layer to detect link taps and (when applicable) consume them without focusing the input.

Changes:

• JS/TS: add onLinkPress API + internal isOnLinkPressSet gating prop for Fabric.
• iOS/macOS: track touch-down in hitTest and veto textViewShouldBeginEditing: (macOS via mouseDown:) to emit onLinkPress without focusing.
• Android: add shared charOffsetAt utility and consume link taps on ACTION_UP (send ACTION_CANCEL to super) to prevent focus/keyboard.
