What is the expected behavior of the proposed feature?

Currently user can do this https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/link.html#typing-around-links to change Display text of the hyperlinks. If the dialogue box can provide option to write Display text as well, then it would be more user friendly.

Current Feature looks like this

My client's editors got quite confused by the lack of this feature. The likes of Word, Gmail, Slack etc etc all provide entry boxes for the text to display alongside the URL to use. For what it's worth, CKEditor 4 also had it:

This feature seems to have been added in v45.

See the current demo: https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-5/demo/feature-rich/

The pull request was https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/pull/17469.

CKSource folks: better cross-linking of issues and PRs would be appreciated. There's no indication that this feature was completed, or that the PR was associated with this issue at all. Seems like it was just implemented internally without looking at the existing issues. This feature was also requested in https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/10041. Both this and that issue should probably be closed.

@quicksketch Thanks for catching that. We are always looking at the related GH issues in the areas we are touching to see if we can improve something along. The same happened in the case of #17230, and display text, as well as fixing manual decorators. But this was one of the longest living branches (we finished ~November, didn't want to accumulate too many breaking changes), and it looks like either our tech failed in closing, when merging the master PR, or we did not link issues correctly.

As mentioned, released in v45.0.0.
