/articles mobile: can't tap on inline link if it's also a glossary term #534

My best guess at a solution is to make it so that glossary definitions aren't attached to text which contains a link.

melissasamworth commented 7 months ago

Oh gosh that's tricky. I can't think of a better solution than yours at the moment.

mruwnik commented 2 months ago

would this only be on mobile, or in general?

mruwnik commented 2 months ago

how about long tap?

bryceerobertson commented 2 months ago

@mruwnik this is only a problem on mobile – because you can't hover on mobile

bryceerobertson commented 2 months ago

@mruwnik is long tap on websites a thing??

mruwnik commented 2 months ago

it could be - I vaguely recall that being supported, and if not it shouldn't be that hard to implement it. The main issue would be communicating that functionality to the user

bryceerobertson commented 2 months ago

Yeah agreed. @melissasamworth any thoughts on how to communicate this to users?

LeMurphant commented 2 months ago

I don't think it matters much on desktop. Also, the content team has been attempted to find instances of this link + glossary and remove the link, so it should become less of a problem over time, but I still think that it should be fixed with a technical solution as well.

bryceerobertson commented 2 months ago

@LeMurphant nice. Given that + since there doesn't seem to be any great technical solution I think this issue is low priority then
