Setting ProtectedCursor not working in RichEditBox

[tipa]

Describe the bug

The goal is to show a "hand" cursor when the user hovers over a link in my RichEditBox. In UWP I was able to do this by subclassing RichEditBox and overriding OnPointerMoved

protected override void OnPointerMoved(PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPointerMoved(e);
    if (GetLinkAtPosition(e.GetCurrentPoint(this).Position) == null) { return; }
    Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor = new CoreCursor(CoreCursorType.Hand, 1);
}

Steps to reproduce the bug

According to this answer, on WinUI3 I need to use ProtectedCursor. However, this code does not work, the "IBeam" cursor persists:

protected override void OnPointerMoved(PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPointerMoved(e);
    if (GetLinkAtPosition(e.GetCurrentPoint(this).Position) == null) { return; }
    ProtectedCursor = InputSystemCursor.Create(InputSystemCursorShape.Hand);
}

@snigdha011997 I provided a repro, why has the "needs-repro" tag been added?
