If possible, I'd like that the core team test this implementation on Android and validate it's styling, so I can replicate it on iOS.

Challenges:

1. On iOS, making a Label clickable requires a dirty hack. This is only a problem with UILabel.
2. I have no idea if this works when the parent is a button (further testing needed).

There's an option to use the usual link highlighting (some adaptations are needed, or we could depend on https://github.com/saket/Better-Link-Movement-Method) to get this effect:

We could accomplish it by setting something like android.highlightColor, but when you override the span's background color, the highlight color never appears. This means we would not be able to create a span with a background that highlights.

This is also not possible on iOS (at least not in a trivial way). If our goal is to have the same style on both platforms, we can skip this step.

Hi @edusperoni!
Can we please rename this to TappableSpan,
and change the name of the event to linktap since "click" is not a term that is used on mobile. :)

@shiv19 Absolutely, I used CliackableSpan because Android actually defines it like that (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/ClickableSpan). I'll update it to match TappableSpan

Hello ! Great improvement, look forward to it being implemented :) Thank you very much for your work.
