Split links are created when creating links that contain HTML elements.

Description

When creating a link that contains partial text that is italic, bold or contains a superscript or subscript content the rendered HTML has multiple links instead of one.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enter "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit" into a "Paragraph" block.
  2. Select "dolor" and make the text bold.
  3. Select "ipsum dolor sit" and make it link to "​https://www.google.com"
  4. Publish or update the post.
  5. View the front-end of the site and hover over each work.

Notice each word is its own link instead of being a single link

When doing similar steps in the "Classic" block or in the TinyMCE editor, the links are not split.
