Research direction

Start by tracing how the emailLinkSignIn callback is handled in the React wrapper and how FirebaseUI supplies the email-link sign-in result. Confirm whether the email can be exposed to that callback without a custom implementation. Done means callers can retrieve and persist the email used for sign-in, avoiding a second prompt.

Description

Is there any way to retrieve the email used to send an email link without implementing a custom function/implementation of the firebaseui react?

i.e. it'd be great to have something similar to the below in the umailLinkSignIn callback:

emailLinkSignIn: function(email) {
   window.localStorage.setItem('emailForSignIn', email)
}

so we can avoid reprompting for the email.
