I was playing with rich text links and accidentally discovered that if you select a word or words containing a colon that the block editor assumes you're using a special protocol.
Is this working as designed? I can understand it if I was using mail: or tel:, when the selection also contains the email address or telephone number, but don't think it's much use for other words.
To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Create a new post.
Type some text including a word ending with a colon or phrase containing a colon at the end of the first word.
Select text starting from the word ending with the colon and click on the Link tool icon.
The dialog assumes you're using a special protocol.
eg
wp:template-part
Issue:
Expected behavior
I expected an empty entry field with the Search or type URL placeholder to allow me to select the target from current content.
