Description

We are using ExternalLink on multiple instances in Jetpack monorepo, using the onClick event handler to track clicks. After a recent change implemented, any code passed to onClick prop is being ignored by this component.

This is related to a recent change implemented for validating anchor links in #42259.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

You can reproduce the bug by adding an onClick event handler to ExternalLink. After clicking the link, you will notice it is not calling doSomething function.

import { ExternalLink } from '@wordpress/components';
import { useCallback } from '@wordpress/element';

const MyExternalLink = () => {
	const doSomething = useCallback( () => {
		console.log( 'ExternalLink clicked!' );
	}, [] );

	return (
		<ExternalLink href="https://wordpress.org" onClick={ doSomething }>
			WordPress.org
		</ExternalLink>
	);
);
