Attribute on parent lost

Set to major since its a "dataloss" problem.

This kind of issue is difficult to fix because of the way CKEditor 5 handles links. The entire <a href="http://google.com" class="myclass"><i class="fa-brands fa-accusoft fa-7x">&nbsp;</i></a> is seen by the editor as a single widget, an icon with a linkHref attribute. Because the link is only an attribute of icon and not an object of its own, I don't actually know how I can attach classes to it. I can possibly add a linkClasses attribute to the icon but that doesn't solve the problem of other attributes like target="_blank" that may exist on the link still getting discarded.

I'll look into ways to make the editor see them as separate, like it does when there's more than just the icon inside the link, but I'm afraid of causing other issues when messing with how the editor sees links. Right now the way to mitigate this would be to put something else inside the link so it's not just the icon.

Hi @dpi, please verify whether this patch stops the attribute loss.

#7 working fine, thanks!
