PROOF OF CONCEPT - AWAITING FEATURE APPROVAL
What?
Closes: #71328
This PR introduces a new core/post-edit-link block that provides a convenient way for content editors to access the WordPress admin edit screen directly from the frontend. The block displays an "Edit" link that is only visible to users with appropriate edit permissions.
Why?
There is a PHP function called get_edit_post_link, which renders the link to edit the post. Many classic themes use this function to make users edit the post easily:
However, there is no equivalent block to display the link, so it is not possible to inject the edit link into the theme template.
