In CKEditor 4 the Advanced link options are hidden by default -- one has to click the Advanced heading to expand all the options.
In CKEditor 5 all options are shown at all times when editing a link. Could this be changed to collapse the options and require another click to show them (more like the CKEditor 4 behavior)?
Or, realizing that some sites might prefer the current CKE5 behavior, could it be configurable (show all options by default, or click-to-expand options)?
Our particular use case is that using the Advanced link options is an exception -- needed occasionally, but generally not something content editors should use on a regular basis. The CKEditor 4 behavior was perfect for this scenario -- it was there if you needed it, but not immediately visible.
My concern is that we're going to upgrade to CKEditor 5 and have content editors forcing lots of new links to open in a new window because the new interface is totally friction-less and gives no indication that these options should be used sparingly. I'm trying to avoid a situation where the interface nudges content editors toward behavior that introduces usability problems.
If I had the coding chops, I'd provide a patch. I'm willing to test if others agree this would be a worthwhile change.
