Description
This was originally reported in https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/11147
Ideally, the block would support inserting content in HTML as well as Markdown, as sometimes folks prefer to use HTML directly, for things that may be difficult or impossible to do with Markdown. In the example below, all links should be converted into links.
```
[a link](https://wordpress.com). And a link.
a link
```

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the Markdown block and its rendering path, then reproduce the example with both Markdown and HTML links. Done means HTML anchor elements are accepted in the block and both kinds of links render as links.
