Rich Text - Performance Issue

[KevinFiorentino]

Hello,
I am creating a simple collection of Articles with a richText field. I like Lexical Editor, it is powerful to write content. But, by default it has a critical performance issue.

When I am trying to relate two articles through LinkFeature:

There is an interesting UI to related them quickly, but I discovered that it asks for too much information.

When I open the select, four request are send to the backend:

• Articles: 1 to 10 (I have 11 articles)
• Articles: 11 to 20 (a second request asking for more articles)
• Categories
• Users

If I would have 100 articles (it will happen in production), all of them would be requested, I guess. Also, all articles have the full "richText" field, making the request potentially very heavy. And I would like to not receive the users in this select, I do not need them.

I've tried to override LinkFeature to ignore users by creating a new feature on lexical editor.

I achieved to hide users with { hidden: true } in the collection, but that hide it completely on the admin panel. Also, I analyzed #6547 but I could not find a possible solution.

Is there a way to crear a LinkFeature more performant in these aspects? I think they are critical, I cannot use it like that.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATED: I just found the property { enableRichTextLink: false } to hide users in richText fields =)
