Copy-pasting mentions (embed links) between documents does not work

[GaboHBeaumont]

Yes — you’re right. If the copied thing is a mention / inline embed, paste should recreate a mention / inline embed, not show raw hm:// links or ask via the “Insert as” menu.

What was happening:

A copied mention is represented in HTML as an anchor like:
Avatar options

But a normal link is also an anchor:
Avatar options

The generic link parser could claim the anchor before the inline-embed parser did, so the paste degraded into regular links / raw hm:// text.
I fixed that by:

giving a[data-inline-embed] parse rules higher priority
making the generic link parser explicitly ignore data-inline-embed anchors
keeping the prior clipboard serialization fixes so re-copying mentions still works

Why are there so many changed files? I have no idea what to look for. I believe it's not rebased cc. @horacioh

I fix the commit, but now I realized that the AI messed Inline Embeds versus Mentions.

How do we differentiate between Inline Embeds and Mentions? We agreed that Mentions are strictly for mentioning People.

[horacioh]

Inline embeds and mentions in the code should be treated the same. we should not have two different types for the same thing

We can treat them differently in the UI, but in the permanent data should be the same

@GaboHBeaumont You need to rebase your branch before you create the PR because if you don't rebase, you will include all the other code in your PR. so please rebase your branch first before pushing

Please rebase your branch first before we accept this PR.

Fixed now:

• rebased the branch onto current main
• force-pushed a clean history with a single commit
• narrowed the PR to only the inline-embed copy/paste fix (10 editor files)
• kept mentions / inline embeds as the same underlying type in code and data

Current head: 35a794dce (fix(editor): preserve inline embeds across copy-paste)

Could you please take another look?
