Link with other 2SCM attribute preserves other attributes on click after link

[jodator]

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

1. Mark text fragment as link and code
2. Click outside link (to change selection)
3. Click after a link (

✔️ Expected result

Probably all the attributes should be removed (you shouldn't type with anything).

❌ Actual result

The code selection attribute is active and you type with it.

Ps.: I had some trouble (as seen in the above GIF) to click just after a link. In most cases I was clicking outside both (on a space?). On another text it was after a first try.

This is a bit more serious than it seems.

The issue here is that when we click after the link, the link feature forces the selection to be outside the link. However, it does not force it to be outside of the code. And since <code> is in <a> a new <code> is being created at the selection position.

I think that the mechanism in the link feature should be smarter and if there's no link on the right-hand side use the attributes from the right (change the gravity). However, it may be really tricky to sync this with the 2 step caret movement mechanism.
