fix: require double-click to open editor links

[rmolinamir]

Summary

• Problem: Links inside the BlockNote editor were opening on single click, which interrupted editing flows.
• Solution: Handle anchor interactions at the TipTap editor layer so single-click navigation is blocked and links open only on double-click.

Implementation

Updated useBlockEditor to pass custom _tiptapOptions.editorProps handlers:

• Added a shared anchor-target helper that resolves a[href] from the event target.
• Added handleClick to prevent default navigation for anchors on single click.
• Added handleDoubleClick to open the link explicitly with window.open using noopener,noreferrer.

Verification

Verified locally with type-checking.

• Checks: pnpm --filter @acme/web typecheck
• Tests: TypeScript compile passed with no errors.

Notes

• Risk Level: Low
• Refactoring: No unexpected refactors
• Assumptions: Anchor interactions should only navigate on double-click in editable BlockNote contexts.

Let ProseMirror handle link single-click selection

This handler consumes every anchor click by returning true, which in ProseMirror means the click is fully handled and downstream/default editor click logic will not run. That blocks normal caret/selection updates when users single-click linked text, so they can no longer reliably place the cursor in a link to edit it (a regression in editing behavior even though navigation is blocked).

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

This is actually to make sure the Link menu opens on click:

Otherwise the whole formatting toolbar would open.
