Is there a way to convert HTML back to character in R

Is there a way to convert HTML back to character in R. For example

v1 <- "This is the link <a href=https://google.com>Click here</a> also there is another link, <a href=https://yahoo.com>Click here</a>"

Expected output

"This is the link https://google.com also there is another link, https://yahoo.com"

You can use gsub to remove the text that you don't want.

gsub("<a href=(.*?)>.*?</a>", "\\1 ",v1)

#[1] "This is the link https://google.com  also there is another link, https://yahoo.com "

This removes everything except the link between every <a>..</a> tags.
