links: Fix unnecessary blocking of click behavior.

Links become unclickable if the following is true:
1. Composebox is open
2. You have selected some text

Currently doing this will prevent the default click behavior
which is a big bug and can get quite annoying.

We now switch to a more robust check which only prevents the
click behavior if some drag evidence is present, determined with
`mouse_drag.is_drag`
