Link dialog should not edit anchor

[Garry Yao]

When open link dialog on anchor, it should generate a link around the anchor instead of change the anchor element itself.

Reproducing Procedures

1. Open the "replace by class" page,insert an anchor;
2. Click the anchor and open link dialog;
3. Fill the url field and click OK;
   • Actual Result: Javascript error thrown.

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

There is no way to have a link around an anchor, as an anchor is a link after all. We may not have errors though, and the link is supposed to "replace" the anchor in this case.

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

It should be possible to have a link that it's also an anchor (that's it: it has both href and name or id). Footnotes are an example of this behavior (paste some text from word to check it), it provides a way to go to the explanation in the footnote, and a way to return back to the place where it's being used.

This behavior was possible in 2.x and I don't see any reason to forbid it in 3.x

The current behavior of anchors in 3.x is already crippled enough, please, don't make it impossible to use features that did work.

[Garry Yao]

Throwing error problem probably been fixed by recent changes, and the functionality should be what we have currently with v2 as alfonsoml described, so the bug is invalid.
