It can be difficult in renaming an existing link.

Why is that so?

I would like a straight forward way of renaming a link.

It should be possible to change the text just by... editing it inline.

I am backing up some...
Let's look at the "old" method.

Then compare with the new Gutenberg way.

Comparing the two the most important part that is missing is the line to define the text link.
Here is the mockup suggestion again.

Difficult in renaming a link. Pascal you asked "Why is that so" and editing inline.
It would be cleaner to have a text link box. Keeping it straight forward. Clarity to adjusting the link. Yes one can adjust it inline but that is just not as clean as having a line like the "old way" of doing so. If one wanted to add multiple words to a link after having first created the link then that becomes difficult. It would then be very easy to open up the link "submenu" see the link name and then adjust.

@paaljoachim for now going to close this in favour of the iteration going on here #17557. This entire interface if being worked on so good to focus.
