Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This refers to adding a link via the paragraph block and the search results it returns.

An example of why this is useful is if you have a WooCommerce store you'll have product categories and at some point you are going to want to add a link to a product category in your page content, these product categories are not returned in the search results when implementing a link, leaving the only option as manually entering the link.

Describe the solution you'd like
Show taxonomies in the link search results or add a filter to allow taxonomies to be included by a developer.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually adding the link, takes longer, if the user isn't tech savvy then it's a harder process to go and find the link from the frontend then return to the backend to paste it in.

Just another note here that I assumed the code containing the link would relate back to a post ID, taxonomy ID, etc in the database so if those were updated at anytime e.g. changing the post slug then the content linked to that ID would get their links automatically updated - looks like that isn't the case - might be worth a consideration?

Any updates on this topic? It`s seams a serious issue cause many webstores build their websites category based, not page based. Abundance of convenient linking to categories and tags is a huge problem.

Still looking for this functionality ourselves, it's a real issue for WooCommerce based stores who link to product categories.
