 When creating a link that contains partial text that is italic, bold or
 contains a superscript or subscript content the rendered HTML has multiple
 links instead of one.

 **Steps to Reproduce**
 1. Enter "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit" into a
 "Paragraph" block.
 2. Select "dolor" and make the text bold.
 3. Select "ipsum dolor sit" and make it link to "https://www.google.com"
 4. Publish or update the post.
 5. View the front-end of the site and hover over each work.
 ''Notice each word is its own link instead of being a single link''

 When doing similar steps in the "Classic" block or in the TinyMCE editor,
 the links are not split.
