Thank you for raising the issue @Robertght. I was able to reproduce the issue and would like to further explore the possible root cause.

Hey @Robertght, I looked into the root cause and found that the issue is caused by this prop. I tested it by removing the prop, and that enabled the link editing interface to appear.
I also tried tracing which PR introduced this prop and the reasoning behind it, but I wasn’t able to find a clear explanation.
This is the 2 PRs where we this prop was added
#45055
#49808
I believe @t-hamano may have more insights on this. I would love to hear from you.

If you are using Gutenberg 20.7 or later, you should be able to use non-interactive formats. See #68741
However, because the
summaryelement itself is interactive, it is not possible to allow interactive elements such as theaelement.t-hamano commentedon Apr 9, 2025
I don't think there is a bug in the latest Details block, so I'm closing this issue. Feel free to comment if I've missed something.
Note that this means we still can't use non-interactive elements in WordPress 6.8 because Gutenberg 20.7 will not be bundled with 6.8.
