Summary of Changes
Based on #48043 this implements now a selector for the tinyMCE link where editor-xtd plugins can inject themself and links can be added.
Testing Instructions
- Activate TinyMCE and the xtd-editor buttons (enabled by default).
- Create a new article
- insert a link via TinyMCE
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
Just an input field to type in a link.
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
The input field now has a "Browse links" button to click. When clicking a dialog opens and you can select between articles/contacts/menus/media to insert as link.

does it generate the links in the same way as the xtd-editor buttons?
if it does maybe we can think about not enabling them by default anymore for tinymce users

maybe we can look at removing the xtd-buttons from the tinymce toolbar now on new installs

Cool, can every extension who has a button hook in then? If yes, then this should be documented.

I have documentation here https://github.com/joomla/Manual/compare/main...bembelimen:62/tinyCE?expand=1 but GitHub does not allow me to create the PR 🤷️

I'm currently testing it with DPCalerndar. Works good so far, just wondering, in the button we use a link with the session form token:
$link = 'index.php?option=com_contact&view=contacts&layout=modal&tmpl=component&' . Session::getFormToken() . '=1&editor=' . $name;
but not in the script option. Is this done on purpose?
