Description
Gaps in the incubator RichTextArea that html-to-node currently works around (split from #2; details and workaround pointers there). Each landed OpenJFX feature deletes a workaround here:
- Character-level link attribute with activation handling (currently: custom
HREFattribute +getTextPositionon click) - Inline node/image embedding as first-class model feature (currently:
addNodeSegment, view-only model only) - Baseline-shift / vertical-align character attribute (currently: sub/sup lose their shift, font-size only)
- Numeric font weights (currently: CSL's
font-weight: 100collapses to normal/bold) - Styleable selection/caret colors on the control (e.g.
-fx-selection-fill,-fx-caret-color) instead of Modena rules on skin-internal sub-nodes — see the analysis in #2 - A lean read-only viewer mode without caret/edit overhead

Research direction
Start with issue #2 and its workaround pointers, then review how html-to-node currently handles the six listed RichTextArea gaps. Done means the relevant OpenJFX features are available and the corresponding workarounds can be removed, covering links, inline nodes/images, vertical alignment, numeric weights, control colors, and read-only mode.
