Link controls can't render both text and icon/image :(

It looks like all link controls can't render both their text (label)
and an icon/image if one is present :(.

This is however a very frequent requirement to be able to render both.

I think this is a bug, but I saw on the list that this is intentional
because of compatibility. However, it's still a bug, even if it's 
intentional, or if it's kept for historical reasons.

Right now it looks like it's impossible at all to display both - only by 
hacking my own AbstractLink (since all other link controls will use it) :(.

Any plans to fix it? Or should I open an issue for it?

thanks,
Joseph.

Should I also submit a patch to update the click-examples LinkDemo page
to illustrate more usages of the Link controls?

We have had this request before. While I don't think we should change
the default rendering behaviour, we could look at adding an option to
render the text as well as the icon.
