/**
 * Decide which element a clickable nav surface renders as based on the
 * caller's `linkProps`.
 *
 * Preference, in order:
 *  1. If `to` is set and the consumer has wired a `linkComponent`, render
 *     through the consumer wrapper so client-side routing stays in effect.
 *  2. If `href` is set, render a plain `<a>` so cross-origin / no-router
 *     callers reload as expected and a router-aware Link does not try to
 *     SPA-route to another domain.
 *  3. Otherwise (a `to`-only call with no `linkComponent`, or a bare
 *     onClick), defer to the consumer's `linkComponent` or fall back to
 *     the underlying element default.
