Roadmap question: true interactive inline views (SwiftUI/UIKit) inside text paragraphs

[tjgoldblatt]

Hi, just wanted to start off with my team has been a power use of MarkdownUI and we're extremely excited for this new package. I’ve been testing it as a possible replacement for a custom MarkdownUI + TextKit renderer in our iOS app.

I have a roadmap question about interactive inline views inside paragraph flow (not just images).

My current use case:

• We render custom markdown tags into inline UI elements (citation pills, drug/dose pills, nudges, etc.).
• These need to live inside paragraph layout and keep normal text wrapping/spacing.
• They also need full interaction behavior (tap, pressed/highlight state, accessibility, etc.).

What I have working today:

• I can preprocess custom tags and map them to Textual attachments.
• Visual rendering works pretty well for inline pills/images.

What I’m blocked on:

• Inline attachment content behaves more like rendered symbols/images, so touch-down/pressed button feedback and riche gesture handling are limited.
• I can route taps through links/actions, but it’s not the same as true inline interactive view behavior.

Question:

• Is support for fully interactive inline SwiftUI/UIKit views in paragraph text planned on the roadmap?
• If yes, is there a recommended direction/extension point for this?
• If not, would a contribution in this area be welcome, and what architecture would you prefer for it?

For context, my previous implementation used TextKit attachments + overlayed SwiftUI views for interaction, and I’m trying to achieve similar parity with Textual.

Thanks!
