How to make \hhline work with longtable's \\*

Question

1. longtable provides \\* which can prevent the pagebreak, and longtable redefines \hline to support this function.
2. Then, multirow enhances \cline to support that function.
   One can use package option "longtable" to load the enhancement, see texdoc multirow, sec. 3.6.
3. It seems that \hhline from hhline package does not work with \\*.

Is there a way to make hhline work with \\*? Maybe this answer can be a start point, but I am not sure.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage[longtable]{multirow}
\usepackage{hhline}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}

\textheight4\baselineskip
\pdfpageheight5\textheight

\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{*{3}{|l}|}
    \hline
    A & B                 & C \\ \hline
    A & B                 & C \\ \hline
    A & B                 & C \\* \cline{2-3}
    A & \cellcolor{pink}B & C \\* \cline{2-3}
    A & B                 & C \\ \hline
\end{longtable}

\newpage
\begin{longtable}{*{3}{|l}|}
    \hline
    A & B                 & C \\ \hline
    A & B                 & C \\ \hline
    A & B                 & C \\* \hhline{|~|-|-|}
    A & \cellcolor{pink}B & C \\* \hhline{|~|-|-|}
    A & B                 & C \\ \hline
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

I need to use \cellcolor inside a longtable hence \hhline seems to be a must, by texdoc colortbl, sec. 10.

Answer 1

With longtblr environment of tabularray package, \\*, \cline and cell color work as expected:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[height=3cm,paperheight=4cm,width=3cm,paperwidth=4cm]{geometry}

\usepackage{tabularray}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\SetTblrTemplate{head,foot}{empty}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtblr}{*{3}{|l}|}
    \hline
    A & B                & C \\ \hline
    A & B                & C \\ \hline
    A & B                & C \\* \cline{2-3}
    A & \SetCell{pink} B & C \\* \cline{2-3}
    A & B                & C \\ \hline
\end{longtblr}
