Describe the limitation
set <file> / --find X --replace Y --prop revision.author=... fails when the matched text spans a w:hyperlink boundary:
Error: find/replace+revision cannot span a hyperlink boundary (match at offset 59, length 3)
Use case
In tracked-changes workflows (e.g. AI-applied manuscript revisions), text inside hyperlinks — like the "原文" (original) link text in reference lists, or URL labels — often needs revision-mode deletion. Currently impossible via the CLI; the only workaround is editing document.xml directly to wrap the hyperlink element in w:del.
Suggested behavior
- When the full match is contained within a single hyperlink whose text lives in one run, wrap the whole hyperlink in
w:del and emit the replacement as w:ins (mirroring how plain runs are handled).
- Keep failing with a clearer message for partial-coverage matches.
