I noticed this is one of the few PDF viewing libraries for Android (well, Compose) that doesn't naively just convert to static images and is instead built with additional text-based functionality and targeting modern tech. Currently, for apps needing to embed PDFs with links, the main option is lots of "AndroidPdfViewer" forks that use PDFium (example, example, example). All are poorly maintained, lack features, and are bulky, slow, and built in the XML days.
Since this library already has text extraction, I'm wondering if link extraction / handling is also planned? Here is an example PDF with links. Another feature likely present in a lot of PDFs is clickable emails (e.g. x@example.com -> mailto:x@example.com).
Thanks for the excellent library so far!
