Bug Description

When using the Text-to-Path functionality in Inkscape, whether via the GUI or CLI, the conversion output removes all <a> elements.

Sample SVG:

```
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 268 197">
  <text y="1em">Text <a xlink:href="https://example.com">hyperlink</a></text>
</svg>
```

It seems that in path-chemistry, all elements that aren't text, flowtext, or groups are dropped on the floor.
