Hyperlink is not clickable in the `readonly` mode #4265

Bug

In my app, I needed to load CKEditor in the readonly mode (like an HTML <textarea> tag) just to render the HTML content, while disallowing the user to make any changes. Unfortunately, though the hyperlinks get correctly rendered, those can't be clicked anymore. If the mouse hovers over the linked word, the link is displayed in the browser's status bar, as expected. But, neither clicking the word triggers the link, nor right-clicking the word brings up the context menu. Any idea how to get around this issue?

Expected result

The editor will disallow editing, but the existing hyperlinks will remain clickable.

Actual result

The editor disallows editing, but the hyperlinks are not clickable. Please note, that the hyperlink still renders as a hyperlink with different formatting.

Hello, please notice that link in editor are never clickable - not only in read-only, but also in editable state. The formatting for hyperlinks is preserved for the same reason as bolded text is still bolded, but it still isn't intended to allow users to click them.
