Description
Describe the feature request
Clicking on the 'a' tag on the native app, generates an error <a> "href" handling is not implemented in React Native.
Can't we use Linking.openUrl(url: string) function combined with onPress event to mimic tag behavior?

Research direction
Start by locating the React Native handling for the native tag and the path that emits the "href" handling is not implemented error. Check how Linking.openUrl and the onPress event can fit that path. Done means native links open their href through the proposed linking behavior without producing the current error.
