Breaking: #98275 - Removed pre-defined link title attributes in RTE link browser

Description

Back in the old HTMLArea it was possible to pre-define a link title in the classesAnchor configuration which got applied after selecting the CSS class for a link. This feature was migrated to EXT:rte_ckeditor in TYPO3 v8.

From an SEO and accessibility point of view, this doesn't make much sense as this would lead to repetitive usage of the same link title, not helping much at all.

For those reasons, the possibilities to

• pre-define a link title
• make the link title field read-only

have been removed without substitution.

Impact

Pre-configuring a link title based on the applied CSS class is not possible anymore. Also, configuring the link title field to be read-only is not possible anymore.

Affected installations

All installations configuring classesAnchor.*.linkText or buttons.link.properties.title.readOnly in an RTE configuration file are affected.

Migration

There is no migration available. Removing the obsolete settings classesAnchor.*.linkText and buttons.link.properties.title.readOnly is recommended.
