Answer 1

Flutter has WidgetSpan() to add a widget inside the RichText().

Example use:

RichText(
  text: TextSpan(
    children: [
      TextSpan(
        text: "Click ",
      ),
      WidgetSpan(
        child: Icon(Icons.add, size: 14),
      ),
      TextSpan(
        text: " to add",
      ),
    ],
  ),
)

Above code will produce:

You can treat the child of WidgetSpan like the usual widget.
