(BUG) Remove the need to validate links in Composer before Send

Absolutely annoying feature of Composer. When importing HTML you CANNOT move onto send without validating every link to ensure it has valid a[data-mktcloud-xt] and a[data-mktcloud-name] attributes. (Which don't appear to be documented anywhere?)

Without these attributes two things happen.

  1. The "Link Manager" interface of the UI breaks. (Zero links show).

  2. You CANNOT move onto Send without correcting the issues.

There needs to be a way to override this "safety" check.

For anyone reading this thread looking for the xt data types this is a list I've managed to figure out from rummaging around.

data-mktcloud-xt="SPCLICK"

data-mktcloud-xt="SPEMAIL"

data-mktcloud-xt="SPCLICKTOVIEW" // Not sure what this is?

// Opt Out Links.

data-mktcloud-xt="SPCUSTOMOPTOUT"

data-mktcloud-xt="SPONECLICKOPTOUT"

    Can we bump this? It's an absolutely annoying oversite. Everytime I import HTML into the editor I gotta' trawl through it adding custom data attributes to links before I can send. Not really digging Composer so far.
