Insert link with keyboard shortcut

[aj-foster]

Hi folks 👋🏼

We're interested in enabling a keyboard shortcut for inserting a link (for example, mod+k). My intuition is that we'd like to call a function very similar to the onMouseDown handler for the toolbar button from link-ui. I'm happy to help with the implementation, just wanted to ask a few questions first:

1. Does this sound like something you'd like in the link-related plugins?
2. Does it belong in link-ui, link, or a separate package? link-ui has very similar functionality already, but doesn't currently provide a create...() plugin. link provides the plugin, but doesn't currently concern itself with getLinkUrl functions.
3. Would you like to see any logic from link-ui move into link? I could imagine a world in which the onMouseDown handler in link-ui calls preventDefault() but otherwise hands off the work to a function in the link package. But maybe you foresee an issue there.

Thank you for all that you do!

1. Yes it's a standard feature
2. All UI lives in link-ui. Plugin, hotkey, utils, transforms, queries live in link
3. Yes sure if you feel it's decoupled from a specific UI implementation, so it can be used by multiple UI implementations

Thanks for the initiative, would love to collaborate on this
