   I face the same idsue, quite annoying as it affects not only links but all inline nodes... it leads to a weird behaviour. I tried to solve the issue by introducing a new normalization rule but in the end it blocks the first line break...

   I've fixed this issue with the following code:

   editor.insertBreak = () => {
     const [selectedElement, path] = Editor.parent(editor, editor.selection);
   
     if (selectedElement.type === 'link') {
       const endPoint = Range.end(editor.selection);
       const [selectedLeaf] = Editor.node(editor, endPoint);
       if (selectedLeaf.text.length === endPoint.offset) {
         if (Range.isExpanded(editor.selection)) {
           Transforms.delete(editor);
         }
         Transforms.select(editor, Path.next(path));
       }
     }
     insertBreak();
   };
   

   It moves the selection out of the link before the line break.

   Does it work for you?

   Fixed by #6202: pressing Enter at the end of a link now starts the next paragraph outside the link. Please reopen if you still get an empty link.
